Shoot-Out Entries

For ShootOut, I entered a black and white portfolio and these are the photos that were in it.
I loev this photo of Leah, but I liked it better in color. It just looks too bland to be in black and white. 

This is "digitally constructed" and that's all I have to say about that.

I have always liked this picture. It was never intended to just be focused on the hands. There was supposed to be smoke, but I'm very happy with how it turned out. 

This is from the state swim meet. This isn't even one of our swimmers. This looks better in black and white because the colors are messed up since its a GoPro picture. 

This was taken at Northridge. I like silhouettes so this picture makes me happy. 

I took this on my trip to Mississippi, and it looks way better in black and white than in color. 
I like the string of lights. I think that's what makes this picture so interesting.

This is one of my favorites. This isn't a fantastic photo, but I cant believe I took it. Its so nice. It's such a cute little bird house.

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
