From going to the duck pond, I learned that quality of portraiture really depends on the setting of the photo. While determining the poses, I used the paper that was provided and the scenery available. The paper was somewhat helpful but free reign would have been nice. As I was taking my pictures, I used the reflector to add in light. I used more of the white side to add a soft glow versus the bright, warm glow which could have been provided using the opposite side. After uploading the images, I retouched the photographs by adding a soft blur and removing any blemishes from the subjects faces.
After completing this project, I looked into the portrait photographer position and what it takes. I learned that an entry level portrait photographer makes about $8-$10 an hour. I also learned that the best way to become an experienced portrait photographer is to get into commercial photography.

In my pictures, the only food that I had brought was the lemons used. The props that I used were the cutting board, the "namaste" spoon, and the white mug. The blueberries were provided by my teacher.
Five things that I learned from doing the food photography were placement of the food, how to make the lighting better, angles of the food, the best aperture to use when photographing the food, and the best way in which to have someone interacting with the food. The things that I did in order to make my photos look similar to ones taken by a professional were to really make the placement look nice and to really highlight the beauty of the food. Three things that I learned from doing the food photography were to have a more specific idea in mind when doing something like this, to really understand the composition of the food and props, and to rush but be patient at the same time. Some careers that use food photography are food critics since they judge the food they eat, food magazines because they show off what the end product of different dishes, and any restauranteurs since they need to have images of their food in their menu. Something that I think I was successful in doing with my food photography was the placement of my food. I would do this again because I feel food photography is such an art since food is a huge deal in today's society. The better the food looks, the more people will be attracted to it. |
