Light Graffiti

Light Graffiti

For this project my group had to adjust the shutter speed so the camera lens would stay open long enough for the subject of the photo to draw a picture using a phone flash light, facing the light towards the camera. If we wanted to see the person in the picture we turned the light towards them. I think in this project getting everything to show up worked but making neat shapes was really hard because you couldn’t see what you had drawn. It was frustrating waiting for the pictures to process because we wanted to see how they turned out. I think to take this project to the next level I should bring cooler lights and maybe open the shutter for longer so that the drawing can be more detailed. Click HERE to see more photos!

Black Portrait Background


For this project we had to take pictures with a real camera against a solid black background without leaving any shadow or seeing any flash from the light. My group would hold up lights on just the model’s face so there wouldn’t be light on the background only on the face.  After we uploaded all our pictures so we could edit them on photo shop. We edited them so that there was no light on the background and to make it black and white if needed. Editing the photos was easy because I now have more experience with photo shop and the tools on it. It was a challenge taking a picture without the light reflecting on the background because it required a lot of effort from the person holding the light.  Click to HERE see more photos!

For this project we had to take pictures with a real camera against a white background without leaving any shadow. My group would hold up lights behind the model so there wouldn’t be a shadow.  After we uploaded all our pictures we had to edit them using photo shop. We edited them so that there was no shadow and to make it black and white if needed. Taking pictures without a shadow worked well because of how we adjusted the settings on the camera. It was a challenge finding good poses to use without creating a blurry photo or a photo that the model didn’t like. Click HERE to see more photos from this project!
