These past few weeks have been INTENSE. I have had about 3/4 projects which all need to be handed in by the end of march and for some reason I thought it was a good idea to start one of them only two weeks to the deadline when i've had eight weeks to do it. Smart move. Luckily I've started to get productive with both OC and photography work! Through i've had to put OCs aside for time being.
My main project for this term is portraits, and by the first of April I need to have five images ready: a high key and low key portrait, a self portrait, a still life based off a real person and another portrait of my own choice. Thankfully I already have most of them done!
This one is my low key image - its also my final piece for my second project where I had to take pictures of a classmate for a college exhibition (its going to be printing professionally and hung up in the hallway im very nervous.) By putting it in both projects I can kill two birds with one stone and save time 8)
This picture looks kind of different on every computer I look at it on. Its my Still Life entry, my tutors have to guess who its based off. I hope its obvious enough lol, I wish I could've gotten the skull prop one owned by one of the tutors but never mind.
This is for the portrait of my own choice and I LOVE IT. The effect was done all on the camera, the only editing I did was a slight colour touch up and saturations. Light painting is so fun and looks sososo cool, doing this revitalizes my love for photography.
This is my self portrait - I have mixed feelings about it. I managed to get the effect right and just how I wanted it, however the angle and lighting is unattractive. Though I suppose everybody has a double chin and I shouldn't be too self conscious about it.
Unfortunately I still haven't managed to get a high key portrait done - high key is natural, happy, standard lighting so I don't have any ideas for it. I could just take some standard portraits but I find that boring and I want to show off as many skills as possible. I was maybe thinking of using this one:
Since I think its pretty interesting, but for now I'll just have to see how much time i'll have on tuesday! I'm so glad these projects are nearly over omg I can't wait for april - I have almost all of that month off college so I can spend loads of time working on OC projects like Equilibrium and my space pirate lesbians. Why do I always get ideas for these things when I caN'T WORK ON THEM.
Oh man all these photos look so good ;;
ReplyDeletethank you!! ! i ended up using a different one for the high key portrait but i prefer it a lot more
