JR TUNGKSTEN


This photo is also not part of the series but another assignment where we worked on mixing natural lighting with artificial light; basically it was a mixed lighting assignment. I used the natural cloudy lighting with the warmness from the tungksten lighting accenting his face and body. I then edited the photo in photoshop. I hoped the photo would seem serene and a little calm as if he was basking in the early morning light while the world was still asleep.

I think this photo was successful.

Chrissie White!?




These photos are not part of the series but for another assignment which was to emulate Chrissie White's photography. Her photography used a lot of natural lighting in dark or shady areas. Other times they would be bright. These photos were particularly difficult to shoot because the lighting that day was harsh and I had some trouble adjusting the settings on the camera in accordance with the light while still trying to achieve the desired affect. I believe it was challenging to shooting images similar to Chrissie White that day because the lighting was so different.

I think these pictures are successful because the lighting is similar to Chrissie White's.
