In this project, my group and I had to stand in front of a black background, and shine light on the person posing for the picture while somebody takes the pictures. The shutter had to be open for a shorter period of time, because we needed to let the minimum amount of light into the camera, to make the black background darker. To edit, we had to go to Photoshop and just tweak the picture by adjusting the darkness and lightness. We also had to make the background the darkest we could get, to make it look like we were standing in an abyss of darkness. What worked was when we shined the light on only the person, and not on the background. What did not work was if we shined light on the person, but also on the background, because that created a shadow of the person on the background. To see the rest of my photos, click here.
