Still Life

This is our second assignment after the first one: Still Life. Our tasks was to gather some objects that looked interesting and shoot it with a 4 by 5 camera. At first i didn't know what i was going to shoot, but then i saw my friend have these sheets of music that looked really old, like something that could have been used in the 1800s. I wanted to do an old theme, sort of like vintage but i didn't really have anything but old looking sheets of music. Since we had instruments in the class and i had sheet music i decided to do have a music theme. I really like the picture. I like the sheet music and how the instrument compliment the sheets of music. One thing i don't like about this is that the image is a little too dark. I would like to have the sheet music lighted and the flute have light shining on it. Overall i like how the image turned out.

Outside Portrait

In this image we were required to take an outside portrait using outdoor light. To use the outdoor light we had to use a scrim and a reflector. This image is just a regular outside image of my model just crouching on the ground with nature around her. I like this picture because of the lighting that's on her. I think the lighting hits her face really well. The things i don't like about it is the contrast of the picture and the way it looks. To me it looks a little plain, i like the background and the grass in front of her but i think that i could have had the model do something else, maybe interact with the things around her. Another thing i don't like is the way the picture came out. I feel as if it's too light. That's all i see. I would have liked the picture more if there was more dark spots and balance amount of color of black and white.
