Studio Portraits with Gels

 

This studio portrait has good lighting. It looks like the lighting is coming from the right side. The left has more dark and more shadow. The way its angled and shot makes it more interesting. The way she is sitting tells something and the setting. The face expressions set the tone too. The black and white blends in well too. The plain background matches what is going on with portrait. The high chair and positioning. Clothing is nothing crazy and simple. Its like ying and yang. You have to have balance and not favor one or the other. When there is light there is dark.

Lyric Photography

This lyric matched my photo because of the stance and the words. The words say the body says stop but his spirit cries never meaning that no matter how much pain I endure I won’t give up. An audience would interpret this work as courage because of the strong words that are being given and what it means.

Fill Flash Outside

 

 

 

When it comes to portraits, fill flash can spice up them by ironing out the unwanted shadows and dark circles under the eyes of your subject. On top of that, it can evenly scintillate your subject on luminous and shiny days. If you are shooting outdoor, don’t rival the sun rather try to complement the sunlight by adjusting the intensity of the fill flash. In order to adjust the intensity, dial down the flash power. You can also contemplate using a diffuser to achieve a natural image. With this placement, the sun will reflect more light on the hair and also catchlight on the eyes.

Synopsis and Evaluation

The technique of silhouetting can be used to add glamour and intensity to many every day photographs, including still lifes, vacation pictures and even family photographs. Handled properly, the technique will inject excitement and drama into standard photographs.

However, while the result may appear elementary, the creation of such a photograph is not always easily accomplished. The photographer must learn to deviate from the rules generally followed when taking a normally- lit picture by adjusting for a different relationship between light and subject.

Early morning and late afternoon present numerous opportunities to use this effect to its best advantage, offering a myriad of perfectly backlit subjects from skylines to joggers. With proper composition and exposure an exciting and artistic image will jump to the forefront, lending the photograph a dramatic touch that might otherwise be missing.
