30 Project

1. Reflection
ISO: 160
APERTURE: 8.0
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/250

I could've taken this picture a bit more extreme. Rachel (left) could've been a little more rugged or crying with makeup running down her face while Caroline (right) could've presented her bright kind of character better.

2. Stack of Books
ISO: 160
APERTURE: 7.1
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/250

This was a poor editing job on my part. There's odd shadow things around the books, but I do like that you can see the detail in the books.

3. Undergarment
ISO: 1250
APERTURE: 3.5
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/40

My original idea for this photo was to sit in a tree in shorts with socks on and autumn leaves on the ground so the background was nice and pretty. That way, I could shoot down to my feet, but in an obvious was so it looks like I was sitting in a tree. I've kind of procrastinated, so I didn't have enough time to play with that. This is what came up. I just really like pictures with christmas lights and pictures that don't have a ton of color in them.

4. Repose
ISO: 1000
APERTURE: 4.5
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/2000

I felt like this representing still or unmoving. That's what I found when I researched the definition of repose. I took this in Mississippi with the minima. This is one of my favorite pictures that I have. 

5. Bauble
ISO: 800
APERTURE: 3.2
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/40

When I researched "bauble," this came up. This is the only kind of ornament like this that we have on our tree. I tried to make it interesting by putting in a little tiny basket because the basket is adorable!

6. Mode of Transport
ISO: 1600
APERTURE: 4.0
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/13

I honestly forgot I needed a mode of transport, but while I was in Mississippi with JB I got this picture of his dad's horse, Sandy. It really bothers me that the horse is just that much out of focus, but I tried my best. 


7. Spooky
ISO: 200
APERTURE: 2.5
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/250

I didn't really have a "spooky" picture, but I had to take a picture similar to this for a photo story. I just decided to hang some things. I figured if I sat down and thought about it then I could think of something better to do.

8. Liquid
ISO: 800
APERTURE: 2.5
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/250

Sydney showed me her water drop picture before this year and I thought it was neat. I figured no one else would think about this, and it was a better way to learn something new and be creative. I used a strobe tom the right and set a sequined jacket under the water bowl.

9. Meal
10. Nature/Outdoors
ISO: 800
APERTURE: 11.0
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/100

This picture was taken out by the lake. It had just rained so everything looks dark. I edited it by bringing up the vibrance so that all the leaves are brighter. 

11. Self
ISO: 160
APERTURE: 3.5
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/250

My self picture was really hard to collaborate, but I wanted to do something creative and simple. I googled "self" and a picture more cropped than this came up. This was my attempt at replicating it. I used the grey background and a 400 bee to create a shadow. I wanted to crop in closer to my face and do my makeup so my eyes were really big, but that didn't happen. I just covered my face because obviously I'm ridiculously hideous. Such a deep meaning. 

12. Ridiculous
13. Comforting
14. Art
ISO: 1600
APERTURE: 2.5
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/500

I was at JB's house and we made a fire in his fire pit in the back yard. It was super dark. JB accidently tripped over a log jutting out of the fire and we noticed all the sparks and ashes fly up. I thought it looked really neat, so we grabbed a camera and I took pictures. At one point I used the bulb setting and the sparks looked like strings coming up from the fire, it looked cool. For this picture, I just used normal settings. 

15. Pride
16. Clothing
ISO: 160
APERTURE: 6.3
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/250

This is a crap picture. You can't really tell the clothes on the ground. It's bad editing on my part. 

17. Affection
18. Inspired by Film
ISO: 
APERTURE:
SHUTTER SPEED:

I had this nature picture that I really liked, but I didn't want to use as my nature picture, so I decided to get a 35mm frame off the internet and place this picture in it. 

19. Toy
ISO: 160
APERTURE: 7.1
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/250

This is my favorite picture that I've taken. It tells a story, but it's really cute, and the colors are nice. I didn't o too much editing to it. I set up like a high key picture, but then used a bee with a grid to get shadows. 

20. Favorite Space
ISO: 1250
APERTURE: 3.5
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/20

MY CHRISTMAS LIGHTS WOULDN'T LIGHT UP IN THE MIDDLE!!!!
Other than that, this ia natural representation of my room normally. 

21. Red
ISO: 100
APERTURE: 8.0
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/250

This is the first picture I finished on my photo project. I ended up learning the difference in broad lighting. I like the exposure on this picture, but there's a better pose I like in another picture. 

22. Expression
ISO: 160
APERTURE: 8.0
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/250

This is one of my better portraits. I learned to get the wrinkles and dirt out of the background in photoshop. I put a vinette on the picture around the subject. I brought out the detail in her hair and detail on her costume, but left her skin really soft and creamy.  

23. Hair
ISO: 160
APERTURE: 8.0
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/250

Nice model shot, Morgan. 

24. To-Do List
25. Funny
ISO: 160
APERTURE: 11
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/250

I just thought this was funny.

26. You and a Loved One


27. Current Mood
ISO: 160
APERTURE: 11.0
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/250

I was originally going for a pissed off mood in front of the grey background, but I guess I can't look pissed off. So, I changed to lonely lost and alone. I guess that works too. I used the black backdrop and lit me with a flash and grid. I wish I could bring out the detail in my dark clothes, but leave the background as is so I don't look like a mud hole. 

28. Specific Body Part
ISO: 1600
APERTURE: 2.8
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/30

These are Ben's hands. I turned them black and white. There's a lot of detail in the pictures.

29. A Challenging Photo
ISO: 1600
APERTURE: 8.0
SHUTTER SPEED: 1.0

This wasn't necessarily "challenging." I had to get someone to hold the reflector over the air vent in the studio so the flame wouldn't rapidly move and I could use bulb. I also tried getting the light bibles around the image, but then the flame looked awful, so I ended up choosing this.

30. Triptych

My triptych isn't exactly how I would've liked for it to turn out. This taught me to actually sit and focus on what I'm shooting and what I want instead of just taking pictures to have them. I do like that there's detail in the apples though. I believe I'm a symmetrical person.

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

Image
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...
