Final Project Mid-Point

These are bad photos but it was just the two of us brain-storming. For the most part I have locations picked out already and those really aren't my concern at the moment. Elissa and I tried to figure out which dance moves she would want to do. Thus far we've come up with a stretching photo, split, and a few others. The idea is to make one continuous sequence throughout different locations in Pittsburgh.

re-Do Assignment: Picture 4

This again is a picture of Elissa, this time in bed. When this photo was taken I had already stopped taking pictures for the assignment and was simply taking pictures of her to annoy her. She happened to look away at the very moment the photo was taken, I remember seeing it on the LCD screen. I really like the idea of the picture. I wish I had taken a few more after I got this one because when it was blown up the quality wasn't that great but it looked really good while small.

re-Do Assignment: Picture 3

This is a picture of my girlfriend, Elissa. We were wandering around downtown and it had rained the day before and that morning (hence her boots) and she decided to jump in some puddles. The lighting was weird in this one as well but I think I fixed it for the most part. I also enjoy the concept of adults jumping in puddles because I feel it's a universal symbol of childhood.

Re-Do Assignment: Picture 2

This is a picture my roommate took of me of me being all surprised in the shower. The lighting came out very orangey before working on it. I think the final image came out much better than the original. I'm still trying to get the hang of Lightroom, but the photo before this definitely help me get a better understanding.

Re-Do Assignment: Picture 1

This is a shot taken of me by my friend Tom a few days after the original portrait assignment was due. I really enjoyed playing with this in Lightroom because there were a lot of different colors to play with and each setting I manipulated I could clearly see the results.
