Masters Photos

Henri Cartier-Bresson was a French photographer. He is considered to be the " father " of photojournalism. He helped develop the " street photography " or " life reportage " style that was coined " the decisive moment " that has influenced generations of photographers who followed. He used to paint, but Bresson was inspired by photographer Munkacsi. After that he put down his brush and picked up a camera.
 My group and I were inspired by Bresson with his ability of capturing extraordinary "picture perfect " moments. The photo below are photographs that were inspired by Bresson's past photographs.

Tips:

• Use window light, if you don't have an expensive studio use window light, or if you want a more natural look.
• A portrait doesn't always have to be of the face, sometimes you could do something like a child's foot in the sand or something.
• Do not tell the model that they look stiff , or anything negative, it will backfire.

Camera Review

The Cannon EOS Rebel T3i has excellent video capabilities, image, and video quality. The T3i's controls are frustrating to operate and it's not fast. For the price it is a great choice but it is not top notch when it comes to image quality and shooting performance.

Composition With Photos

Our assignment was to take pictures using composition. We had to use Geometry. Here are the edited versions.

Yosemite and Photography

Formal Visual Analysis: The Elements and Principles of Composition

Photo Booth pics

I used comic book because i really liked how the red and my eyes popped out

I used sketch because it looks different and the element of lines

I used sepia because it looks like its kind of an old picure

I used Pop Art because of all the colors.

I chose the squeeze filter because i thought it was fun to play around with.

The element of light

When our group went out to observe the light outside, we noticed different elements of photography. First we put a book on the floor right under the light. everyone stood in a circle around the book, that way we could compare the different views and angles. I noticed that there was a glare in the center because of the light, it was like focused right in the middle. There was a bit of reflection from the people standing around the book. Also, there was some shade because somebody was standing closer than everyone else. We went out a second time, but this time we observed other people in our group. We had two people, with different skin tones, stand right underneath the light. One group member had a skin light skin tone, the one with lighter skin tone, the light reflected off of their face and had a bit of glow. She had long hair so the light and her hair was her frame. The group member who was even more lighter, he was lighter on one side, and darker than the other. some of his face was shaded, and some of it was not. Both members had a lot of texture and the light really brought out their facial features.
