I don't actually know what this is called, but I liked the idea of it. I haven't executed nearly as well as I would like to, but I'm not finished. Its a work in progress. I haven't found any explanations as to how to achieve this picture, but I've speculated with my adviser and ended up coming to my own conclusion and roundabout way as to how to get my desired image.  This is the original inspiration for this project. I still haven't exactly figured out how many images are in this.  I took the one base picture I had and found a horizontal stripe pattern on the Internet. I put it over the base picture and used the magnetic lasso tool in Photoshop then erased certain stripes. On a second copy of the picture, I did the same thing. I put the images in Photoshop then tried to shift them so the images were lapsed.  I came out with two different images, the only difference being how many spacings I chose to lapse the stripes. This was nudged just o...

So I've decided since the last issue of newspaper is about done and there's not many pressing assignments, I'm going to learn as many new techniques while I have the equipment and help to do so at the school.  I've pinterested a ton of different things I've wanted to teach myself how to do, most of it being Photoshop work, but I at least need to sharpen my skills in the program. I took a basic portrait and edited it in color and black and white. This will be the base photo for all of my endeavors for the rest of the year that I attempt my new projects on. These are the photos: ISO: 160 APERTURE: 13 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/200 This is the color picture of chosen and edited. I've gotten in a rut where I've started to edit my photos around a gritty, and dark contrasted style. I think it's pretty reflected in this "color" shot. This is the exact same image with my black and white edit over it. The problem I've come to find i...

ISO: 1600 APERTURE: 4.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/800 I did a photo shoot with a couple of my friends who have made their own band. They needed a couple pictures to upload on their media to promote themselves so I happily heaped out. It was challenging because I felt weird telling them what to do. They're all pretty assertive and are easy to knock something if they don't like it, so I was very hesitant with my ideas. There were a couple that turned out really neat. They were going for the really grimy look. I ended up running up the contrast and clarity to make it look darker, plus it helped that it had been raining that day and was still sprinkling, so the concrete was wet.

I was asked to take senior pictures for Paige Kennedy, my friend in Atlanta, TX. We went to several locations in Bloomberg, Atlanta and her step dad's house to take a picture with a dog. The dog was probably the hardest part because I'm not a dog whisperer, so he was hard to manage. ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/1250 This is in downtown Atlanta, TX. I took a similar photo for a band of boys that I'm friends with in this spot. It looked grungy for them being in a heavy boy band, but I figured it could still make for a good picture for girls senior pictures. The light was backlighting her, but as I've seen with other photographers, apparently backlighting is a new trend and people really seem to like it. It's not my favorite, probably because in all of my teachings I've been taught it's bad, but I tried this time. I don't think it looks too bad.  ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/3200 This is one of the first pictu...
