White photo project

In class this week we have been working on a project. In this project we were told to take pictures on white backgrounds. While taking the pictures we had to shine 2-3 lights on the background to make it an actual white background instead of white or yellow.  We also had to adjust the ISO, F-stop, and shutter speed in order to take this kind of picture. After taking the pictures we were told to download them onto our computers from google drive. We then were told to use the editing software Adobe Photoshop. On Adobe Photoshop we had to make the photo black and white so we lowered the saturation down to -100. After that we adjusted the picture to our liking using curves which is a way to change the lighting on Adobe Photoshop. The final step was to add our logo so that no one steals our pictures. We then uploaded it to google photos. During the process of taking photos I figured out that you need to have a ton of light on the background to make sure it’s white and not yellow or gray.

In class this week we have been working on a project. In this project we were told to take a picture on a black background. While taking a picture we had to shine a light on the person’s face to create a shadow. We also had to adjust the ISO, shutter speed, and F-stop in order to take this kind of picture. After taking the pictures, we were told to go onto the editing software Adobe Photoshop. On Adobe Photoshop we lowered the saturation down to  -100 so the picture would be black and white. After that we adjusted the picture to make the lighting just how we wanted it. Then the final steps were to add our logo and upload it to google photos. During the process of taking pictures I figured out that it didn’t work to be in a lighted room, and that you needed to be in a dark room. I also figured out that you need to try to shine a light in different places each time until you find the best spot for that person.
