Class Portraits

Class Portraits

Ozzie- Ozzie's location and editing process are what defined his project. This is a photo of him in a long ominous hallway, where the light from the window reveals his silhouette. This effect is amplified with the black and white filter, which he also uses. Ozzie uses the mirror effect to bring you to a "different dimension." I also make use of this effect.

Danny- Danny was a part of a light painting team. In order to make this photo, I had to change the settings in the camera to a longer exposure and to darken the exposure. We had to find a dark, empty room. Danny did a lot of the painting and that is shown in his skills in drawing the "D!"

 Pablo- Pablo was part of a light painting team. I used the same camera settings as I did with Danny. I had Pablo light up his face to make it visible in the dark. Pablo did more of the photo taking over the light painting, so I thought that highlighting his face in the way was appropriate.

Declan- I took a long exposure portrait of Declan. I moved the camera around to make the photo more abstract. I also added the colors that were shown in Declan's artistic photos. I wanted to make sure that you were able to see the subject in the photo. 

Ben- Ben's portraits had a more uniform setup: camera on a tripod and the subject in front of a black background. The subject with a blue tint and some sort of flora or fauna overlayed on top with warmer tones. 

David- David's portraits focused on hands. He had a very similar setup to Ben. I put a black and white filter on this photo to bring attention to David and his hands.
