Play Off Game

I loved shooting this game! I'm glad this is the game I got to shoot because of all the tears. I basically stayed on bench duty and broke out a 17-50 to get the guys slumped over and upset.

I like how this drill team girl is framed. There is a lot of detail in her sequins and the tiger is a nice background. I like all the colors in this picture and the exposure. There are just enough shadows to make it look good.

I'm almost happy to say, even though it's mean and I like our football boys, getting pictures of them crying was fabulous. I wish Warren would've been looking just a bit more up. You can get the emotion from him. He's the only one crying and everyone in the background is just fine. He looks like he just got done playing hard, and the oranges aren't weird.

I tried so hard to get a picture of Clete crying. He wouldn't look up. He just had his head buried in a towel. At the end of the game his whole family was around him and he was crying into his mother's shoulder, but he wouldn't ever look up. This is what I ended up with. I wish that I could've cropped it tighter so you could see his eyes more, but it doesn't work out.

This was my favorite picture I took. If this can't win an award or earn a spot as a dominant on a spread then I don't know what can. I tried not to bring him up too much, but I had to bring the exposure up a bit. I like how you can see him up kneeling and crying with his hands on his teammates all praying. It makes the eye draw to him and he is rule of thirds to the right.

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
