Photoshop editing :D

So our task was to photoshop, learning to deal with brushes making it look like a and well structured. Learning this process was pretty fun to be honest, I wanted to learn photoshop and learning about the brushes and how to arrange them better than mixing them around although I had used the blow brush or so cause it seemed fun. IM PRETTY SURE MS MILES WILL MARK ME DOWN but at the same time the learning experience was more worth it than making it all pretty or so because the knowledge is more important than the look. The process in doing this assignment is pretty fun. The process in learning the brush was very fun. I have to say it was kind of hard because I wasnt sure with what to do with mine but Im satisfied with it being plain and simple.

Studio Lighting

Model Jenny Trang, Palina Nygun

Studio lighting, For me this task wasnt that easy to be honest. The process wasnt easy cause there was only a limited amount of space to take the photos. Unlike my other Ideas this is one that doesnt relate to dance as you can see jenny is pouting because shes the underdog, Sitting on the floor sad like a little child I must say. Palina is right above her looking all cool but you dont see her upper body just her lower body to show shes not the underdog. Lightings pretty decent I wish her eyes could of shown better and contrast isnt to bad in my opinion. When I was shooting this piece I thought about children when they would run and play and mess around with their friends. Again Jenny is the under dog cause shes like the little girl with a older sister who tells her what to do. It was fun making the models pose in different was but By far this was one of the best ones I have to say Ive taken with studio lighting.

Sequencing

Model:
Kim Garner

So one of our assignments was to shoot sequencing and here I have 6 photos with me. The front and back of the booklet and as well as 4 images from the inside. Can you tell where it starts? There's a total of 10 images in the booklet I have made including the front and back. Here I only displayed the 1st picture within the book, 5th 6th and as well as the 7th picture in the book. Sequencing was fun I have to say, It took me awhile to think of what I wanted to do and I instantly got it when I saw dancers dancing at the school and it looked very I guess you can say graceful. It came to mind what I wanted my Model to do. I had to get a dancer of course who could do what its called either a Turn or a Forte and I have to say the contrasting is a little dark but its good in my opinion. The photos were taken outdoors cause I originally wanted it on a stage but I couldnt just get my model on the stage to do this. Other than taking these pictures I have to say decorating was fun. Adding many colors many different designs. I wonder if you could tell what I was trying to do in the 5th 6th and 7th picture cause theres something I do in each page with the colors. I gave this book title "The Dance Has Just Begun" because I see the next few asignments of mine will deal with dancers in them now cause Dancing is beautiful wheather it be hip hop or tap or jazz or modern etc... These photos were probably taken 2-4 times each wanted to get the right lighting and the right details of what I wanted to show in my pictures. I have to say I did a prety good job on this assignment compared to everything else Ive worked on so far

Motion Re Take Part 2

Model Rachelle Aguilar

Stop motion was the idea for this photo. Indeed the focus is on the tree but in my opinion even though the focus isnt on her its a pretty good picture still for stop motion. I kind of dont like this picture compared to the first retake of motion but Its ok. The thing I like about re taking this project is the fact the model was able to listen well and she isnt in a photography class but she was able to listen and take directions well. Here you see her being a cheer leader type like person. Again shes still being able to express how she feels through dance and sometimes it doesnt have to be so well structured like ballet or something so intense like modern or jazz but even just freestyle like or I guess you can say being a cheer leader. The thing I wish I could have done was again ger her in focus unlike something else again, and have the model a bit more darker. I like this picture to a certain extent but I prefer the first one more over this one.

Motion Re take part 1

Model Rachelle Aguilar

So I decided to redo motion since I didn't really like my first try at it. Or well I should say it wasn't really showing much motion. Comparing this to the first take you can see that more motion is showing with in the models scarf and her hair. My pictures have been relating to dance lately cause dancing to me is like expressing your body through movement, A lot could be said just by a dance. For instance shes doing a "turn" in a dance form and the model is just dancing around having a good time. I think the lighting could be a little darker on the model and could also be more in focused because its a tad bit blurry but its tolerable. What I intentionally wanted done was for her to be smiling while she does a turn like shes happy to dance, shes happy to express her motion in any way she wants but as you see shes not doing that but as ive stated its still "tolerable" This photo was taken outside to show and express she is willing to dance where ever she wants outside and inside kind of like a high school musical thing just not singing. I think this photo is pretty good compared to my first try with motion.
