Abi's impossibility proofsheets :)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN (:

Advertisment

For my advertisment project I decided to do TOMS. I used gaussian blur and the Hue and Saturation  to boost the colors. Also I used the brightness to make some of my photos more appealing. Also in one of my photos I used threshold to make a black and white effect to my Ad. Lastly I used filters to make some of the photos effects more defined.

Advertisement!

For my advertisement project I decided to do jewlery. I shot a well know jewlery brand. For my pictures I shot in the stuido. I did selective coloring to all my photos I wanted the blue to really stand out from the background. I added a gradient map to the background of my photos. After the gradient map I adjusted the brightness and contrast of my photos. I wanted my background to be white and not an off white so it wouldnt distract from the blue and the jewlery. I also had to use the stamp tool to erase some spots I saw.

( Note: read this description in a British accent... or get Sean Evans to do it for you. )
Hello photo class (: This is my advertisment project. I chose to advertise vans shoes, clothing, and accessories. I chose vans I had a lot of fun with this project because for me there was a lot of creative freedom. For my pictures I did collages or photo sets. Much like other vans ads I have seen. I shot with my regular lens and a fish eye lens for this project. For my photos I tried to shoot at a variety of different angles. In all my photos I adjusted the exposure and contrast levels to fit the photograph. I also turned down the saturation because that is just my signature effect. (: ( PS. there might be more sets to come! )

Abi's Advertisment:Converse

I really enjoyed this project because I really like being able to control the lighting and such. For this project I took most of my pictures at a worms eye view. I also took all the pictures so that they were a little overexposed. I also adjusted the brightness and contrast in all of the pictures. Also the exposure in a few of them to make the details more vivid.

In this advertisement I wanted people to see that anyone can wear converse. By having all the pictures portray different personalities  I wanted them to show the different styles of the shoe and the different personalities from rocker, to average joe, to the hipster. Although the styles can be extremely different, but they all have converse in common.

10-26 Agenda

Hi class,

I'm out sick today :( but you should have plenty to work on (sketchbooks, projects, shooting, etc.)
However, I forgot that Career Day is Friday, so we will not be working that period.  Everything is moved back a day-oopsies.

Top Priority: ESPN Photographer Ross Dettman will be visiting us Friday. Please check out his website.  He will give a brief background intro, but it is ESSENTIAL that you have questions.  We do not want awkward silence.

You need to do the following prior to my return on Thursday:
1. Check out the website:
http://rossdettman.photoshelter.com/portfolio
2. Work in groups of 2-3.
3. Pick a specific picture that you would like him to explain how he shot/edited it/purpose etc., so I can e-mail him in order for him to bring it.
4. Please have 5 questions/topics ready.
5. ALL groups must have different pictures/questions.
6. Save this as a New Post on the blog with the picture link, 5 questions-that way other groups will not repeat.  Please indicate the people in your group on the post too.
7. Therefore working quickly and efficiently will allow you to post first whereas other groups will have to come up with different pictures/questions.

We should take advantage of this time we have with Mr. Dettman.  He is a very busy photographer and has been published in many magazines.  We are fortunate that he has taken time out of his schedule to visit us.  He is a professional photographer. Seriously.

Have a great day! I will miss you all...

social commentary redo

So i was thinking of doing something with the pollution or the idea of poverty.... leaning on pollution but still considering poverty... probably pollution.

Jacqueline Logan read it!

ALL: working hard, no drama, no FB, start sketchbook for next Friday, think about photo show display concept.

Toodles studio. GoooooPhotoooo!!!
COMMENT oN THIS POST so I know that you checked this like you were supposed to :D

3, 2, 1 Reflection

3 things I learned:

1.   I learned that social commentary in photography is meant to inform people on a certain topic – earlier social commentary consisted of immigration and industrialization.

2.   As early as 1866, Thomas Annan used social commentary to inform the rich how the poor lived in such slums. He raised awareness.

3.   Émile Zola highlighted the conditions of the working and middle classes.

2 things I’m inspired by:

1.   In David LaChapelle’s photographs, I’m inspired by how soft the strongest colors can be. It almost makes the look older.

2.   Also in David LaChapelle’s work, I love how he takes pictures of situations you might see day to day but the way he takes them – angles, colors, softness of the pictures – makes them seem bold.

1 idea I will research, pursue, and shoot for:

1.   I think a social issue that would be interesting to shoot is how people get lazy and expect technology to do the work for them. People used to do things like math by hand, now done by calculators. People used to go out and find love, now they use websites.

HDR befores

HDR

So I couldn't figure out how to put my original pictures on here but then someone told me the 32 bits wouldn't upload so I had to change them but my version of photoshop isn't compatible with the photoshop at school so my pictures wouldn't open so I'll post my before pictures tomorrow. So for my HDR photos I had a very difficult time with this projects. My pictures all came out very blue for some reason even though I changed all my settings and even my white balance, so I just tried to work with what I had. For most of my pictures I changed the curves in the photos to add more contrast and then I also changed the color balance to try to get it to a more normal color. I also had to change the gamma and the exposure on all of my pictures. Although this project didn't really work out for me I still really like it because seeing how everyone else's pictures turned out and how they were supposed to look made me wish mine had turned out that cool, but oh well you win some you lose some. Thanks for looking at my photos!

Bokeh/Absract

For this project I mainly just did a little bit of cropping to create a better composition. I used curves to up the contrast and change the brightness, I also color burned greens and browns to create a different color for a different look/feeling.

This is my HDR photo project. I followed the HDR instructions and edit all of these in photoshop. I shot these by Brackting my photos by using 3 different Shutter speeds. Then I edited them a little in photoshop and saved them as a PSD file and then changed them to a 8 bit channel. after that I adjusted the gamma and exposers settings. after all that I ended up with these photos. I hope you enjoy them.
