KENIA’S PORTRAITS

In this project my group and I stand behind a black sign with lights, And we do not have to move anywhere so that the photos could be dark without any shadow behind, Then if they were dark or with some shadow what we did was go to photoshop and edit, And trying to they can be perfect in the back and that our faces are not so dark have to be clear, only the back has to be very dark without shadows was difficult to be looking and trying to let the photos perfect, If you want to see the photos of our group please click here

Portrait Photos

This project is taking portraits with dark backgrounds.  We had to make sure the person was in front of the light so their were no shadows on the board. We also had to edit the post by making the background darker and the figure (person) darker. One challenge I had was making sure there were no shadows on the person, also making sure the adjustments on the camera weren’t letting in too much light, thus ruining the picture. One thing that I found easy was making the background darker through the Photoshop app. This was easy because all we had to do is use the curved tool to darken the background and lighten the figure. In conclusion this project had some challenges but overall was very simple.

Quinn’s Portraits

For this project my group and I stood in front of a black background. To make the photos darker we turned off the lights so there wasn’t a lot of light.  We had to  play around with the ISO to make the background all black and without shadows. I edited my photos by using Photoshop. I played with the contrast and brightness to make the the photo darker but still able to see it. I also cropped out unwanted background for my photos.  The thing  that work the most was making the ISO settings perfect. It wasn’t that had to find the perfect ISO. The hard part was trying to angle the lights perfectly so you can see the person but also make sure there wasn’t any shadows in the background. Below is a photo of myself and I photo I took of someone less. If you would like to see the rest of my photos click here.

Portraits with an Black Background

These are the photos with an Black Background If you want to see more click here. The easiest part was when you make the person lighter to make the background look darker around the person. Actually none of the pictures  worked because we didn’t do it right the first time.

Infinite Background

For this project, we had to move the lighting and the person multiple times to make sure there were no shadows. For the white background, the person had to be right up on the background, and for the black background, the person had to be far away from the background and the light had to be right up in the persons face. If the person was right in front of the background, there would be shadows on the black background. Here is a link to all my photos.

Portraits With an Infinite Background

For this project, we had to adjust the lighting and person multiple times during the shoot. We also had to adjust the settings on the camera as well so the photo would turn out correct. For the white background, we found that the light had to be shining on the background while for the black background the light must be shining on the person. Also, for the black background the person had to stand farther in front of the backdrop while in the white background you had to stand closer. After adjusting the settings on the camera, like shutter speed, we took the photo. After the photo was uploaded, we took it over to photoshop to adjust the lighting of the person and background. One thing that we found worked was shining the light at an upward angle for both projects. However, one thing that didn’t work was shining the light too close to the person with the black background because that would cause the light to be shown in the photo.  Below is one photo of me and one photo I took.

Portraits: White Background

In this project we had to work together to create an infinite background with white backgrounds on manual mode. To take the pictures we had to adjust the camera settings such as, ISO, Shutter Speed, and F-Stop. These settings allowed the camera to take in more light or less light. This would create backgrounds with no shadows and the illusion of an “infinite” background. For the white backgrounds we adjusted the ISO to be around either 3200 or 1600. Then we changed the shutter speed to adjust the light setting of our photos. For most of them we put them at 1/40 or 1/30. To edit our photos we went to Photoshop and changed the light settings even more. If we still had problems we would crop the photo. For this project, taking multiple pictures with different camera settings really made things easier because it gave us many options to choose from. However, if we took photos that were too bright or too dark, we wouldn’t even be able to edit them in Photoshop. This project required us to handle the camera without it being on auto. Below is a picture that I took and a picture of me. You can find my group’s white background photos here.

Portraits with Black Backgrounds

To take the pictures was a hard process but to edit them was easy. Taking the pictures needed a little amount of shutter speed so that the background stays black and not too light. Something that worked was putting the light directly on the person while something that didn’t work was putting light on the background because that would cause shadows and the point of this project is to avoid having any shadows in the picture. Down below are two photos of me and a photo I took. You can see the rest of the pictures here.

Portraits: Black Background

In this project we had to work together to create an infinite background with black backgrounds on manual mode. To take the pictures we had to adjust the camera settings such as, ISO, Shutter Speed, and F-Stop. These settings allowed the camera to take in more light or less light. This would create backgrounds with no shadows and the illusion of an “infinite” background. For the black backgrounds we adjusted the ISO to be around either 800 or 400, sometimes even as low as 200. We also changed the shutter speed to adjust the light setting of our photos. For the shutter speed we adjusted it based on our clothing and if there were shadows or not. The shutter settings ranged from as low as 1/30 to 1/60 (since we already adjusted the ISO). To edit our photos we went to Photoshop and changed the light settings even more. If we still had problems we would crop the photo. For the black backgrounds we would have problems with the lighting so we had to move the light to be in front of the camera. However, if we took photos that had too much or too little light, we wouldn’t even be able to edit them in Photoshop. This project required us to handle the camera without it being on auto. Below is a picture that I took and a picture of me. You can find my group’s black background photos here.
