Portraits 2


This photo is of my twin sister and was taken in the late afternoon when it was mostly cloudy so the light isn't harsh. I like how the light hits her face and makes it really soft. 
















This first photo was taken in the late afternoon allowing the warmth of the sun to highlight her hair. It also created split lighting on her face. 

















This second photo took the background of the original and then increased the size to make it a border around the first image.

Rembrandt Lighting
















Rembrandt Lighting-reflected light onto the right side of his face in order to achieve the triangle under his eye.

















Split Lighting-used a white board to reflect the sun on the left side of her face to not create such a dark shadow.

Orange Photo Series

For my series I chose to use the color orange in a variety of different ways. Orange generally gives a vibrant, energetic, warm vibe. I chose to emulate these emotions by creating orange hues in each one of the five photos to give emotions not generally found through photos taken in the winter. I chose the first photo to show the orange tones of the circular clay pipes as well as creating warmth in the twigs surrounding it. While the second photo focuses on the blueness in the seeds, the overall tone is warm due to a filter and the branches being orange. The third photo uses the rust to show the orange, it contrasts the white snow found in the background. The fourth photo was taken in the late afternoon, capturing the essence of the evening sun giving an orange glow to the trees and the water. The final photo is of broken orange clay. I like this photo because it contrasts the warmness of the orange tone and the concept of broken pieces creating two different meanings.
