Myyyy awesome portraits ;]

Okay... So I ran into some troubles trying to take my portraits, but in the end, I'm awesome as always :]

So the first two portraits are of Alexis and Olivia. 

Both Alexis and Olivia were being photographed by Cortez. He's super tall. I'm super short. It took me a while to actually get a nice picture.. ish.

The next photograph is of me. It's puuury lame, but I took the concept of having a line going diagonally on the photo with trees somewhere in the picture. Haha

Not much to say about this picture... 

These last few pictures are of a GIGANTIC marble I found in my house. These were quite fun to shoot.

If something is far away, then it's upside down in the marble, but if it's just pressed up against it, the marble is a magnifying glass. o:

The portraits of the ring is almost like a self portrait, since it's my class ring, teehee. 

So yeahhh. Those are my photos for our very first assignment.

Unfortunately my internet died yesterday due to my daddy hitting a wire somewhere outside and cutting out our telephone and internet. >< Oh daddy... lol.

.Bloop. Ideas for a New Year!

:D It's awesome to be able to blog in class again. Teehee. 

Here are some ideas for my portraits I'll be shooting soon. 

This picture was taken by Lars Kehrel. It's showing a shallow depth of field. I find it quite creative, taking a picture of a couple taking a picture.

This picture was taken by Sandrine Escamilla. I just find this picture ADORABLE!!! Using a marble is amazing. 

This picture was taken by MGM Photography for Carli's Senior Portraits. It's cliche having someone on a railroad, but the direction of the railroad and where she is positioned in the photo is quite charming. 

All photos were found of FLICKR

So yepp. I'm going to try my best to apply these ideas into my portraits. :]

White On White

Sarah Thomas. A very lovely model to have. :]

I've seen a white on white picture when I was a freshman that was taken by Ms. Taylor A. Brown. It was a very beautiful picture and I envied the simplicity of the picture. When I heard that we had to do a white on white picture, I was thinking of recreating the picture, but then I thought, "Why copy? I can think of something just as good."

Amazingly, this is the first picture that was snapped in the camera. Every other picture after that wasn't as great.
In photoshop, I fixed up the whites. I thought I was finished but Mrs. Ellman showed me this very cool site that had textures to layer onto pictures. I got the textures from Shadow House Creations. We experimented with some and got the picture! It was pretty cool.
It took me forever to figure out how to put on a water mark w/ Mrs. Ellman's help. Haha, I'm pretty slow.
Overall, I had a great time taking and editing this picture.
Thanks for viewing my blog and please leave a comment!
