Portraits

Our goal for this project was to take pictures with a white background and edit them once we finished. In order for the background to appear white, we had to adjust three settings on the camera. These manual camera modes included the ISO, Shutter Speed, and F-Stop. I edited these photos on Adobe Photoshop, applying curves to brighten, lighten, or emphasize certain tones within the picture. Using these editing tools worked very well. Also, using an external light source worked. This ensured that the background would be less dark when the picture was taken. However, the background would appear yellow if the lighting wasn’t good or if the settings weren’t adjusted in a way that would create this effect.

Portraits

Our goal for this project was to take pictures with an infinite background, using three camera settings. This ensured that the background would be black, yet enough light would be captured by the camera lens to see the person. These manual camera modes we adjusted were ISO, Shutter Speed, and F-Stop. I edited these photos on Adobe Photoshop, applying curves to brighten, darken, or emphasize certain tones within the picture. Using these editing tools worked very well. However, uploading the images to Google Photos was difficult because it wouldn’t work unless it was saved under a JPEG file. In addition, it was challenging to find just the right angle and lighting in order to create this darkened effect.
