Decade Day

ISO: 800
APERTURE: 3.5
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/50
LENS: 17-50

In the midst of me trying to hurry in order to get photos for the decade day spirit day, I ran to the bandhall to get people that I knew dressed up. This photo was at a good angle, but all the black has no detail. It's just a mud hole. I have no idea what I could've done to correct that. 

ISO: 800
APERTURE: 3.5
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/40
LENS: 17-50

I feel like this photo is good because she is sitting, but it's not in a cafeteria, and she's not eating. You can tell she's still dressed up which is the point of the assignment.

I absolutely hate shooting spirit days because all the juniors pictures look the same. We have no idea how to get new and interesting images. All of them are people walking down a hallway or sitting in the cafeteria. Not only that, but the people that we shoot are all the same because there is a huge lapse in school spirit.

First Place ATPI Advanced Portfolio

Image
I was the first student from Texas High to ever enter into the advanced portfolio category in ATPI. These are the images I entered and won first place with. These were shot in a compiled time of two afternoons in different locations.  ISO: 500 APERTURE: 4.5 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/13 This is my least favorite image in the portfolio. I had taken an image the exact other side of this and it was perfect. Exactly what I wanted. The only problem was the background was a fireplace. I wanted it to at least look like a studio of sorts rather than a basic living room, so I came to this side and took this image. I ended up just settling with this. Lighting it was super hard until Kelsi Brinkmeyer who helped with my portfolio, had the genius idea to move the blinds and use natural lighting from the setting sun. Like I don't know why we were so stupid and didn't think of that before. I used a 10-24mm, and the problem I ran into was that because she was leaning towards the camera, her u

Ashley Tyson Senior Pictures

These are a sneak peek at Ashley Tyson's senior photos. These were all shot downtown in Jefferson, TX. She happens to be my best friend, and I had our other best friend, Kelsi Brinkmeyer, with us to help light and assist. We all worked really well together because we gel and bounce ideas off each other. Kelsi is a phenomenal photographer, so I was glad to have her with us.  ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/1250 ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/1250 ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/1250 ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/1250 ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/1250 ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/1250 ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.5 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/8000 ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.5 SHUTTR SPEED: 1/8000 ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/8000 ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/8000 ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/8000 ISO: 400 APERTURE:

Headshots: Carlie Clem

Image
ISO: 800 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/8000 APERTURE: F/1.8 I honestly really enjoyed taking headshots today, but I can see how that would get unenjoyable.  This wasn't originally my favorite photo that I had taken today. It had a huge contrast where on the left it was extremely dark, but on the right it was extremely light. I ended up fixing most of it in Lightroom.  I still don't like how she has a shadow across the forehead, but I didn't want to tweak it too much and ruin the photo.  I had a hard time trying to keep glares and overexposed spots out of my photos. Out of around 50 of my photos, I ended up keeping about 6.  I think my biggest problem with headshots will be finding the right lighting. I did learn the when using the rule of thirds, have your model face more towards the middle of the photo. Don't get shots from under them as much because of chins, noses, shadows and other complications. Don't leave too much head room either. Something t
