Recreating Portrait Image

 Recreating Portrait Image




Recreating this image was fun and it gave me more insight and challenge to expand on my creativity.
The issues I had whilst recreating the image was trying to get the shadows correctly positioned on the subject's face. I had used the bottom of an old wicker basket to try get the shadows shapes. I had initially used a colander but unfortunately the depth of the colander was creating difficulties to capture the shot.
The lighting I used was a 8" ring light, I stuck it onto the side of the wall above the subject. I also used a torch positioned high above the subject in front of them towards the left, while placing the bottom of the wicker basket in front to get the shadows on the subjects face.
I would've liked the shadows to have been more brighter but for my first attempt at recreating an image I feel I did well.

 Semester 2:  01/02/2021             Image Production For task 1 I found it quite simple to use photoshop and enjoyable. I've used photoshop previously in semester 1 but never fully understood the functionalities of the programme. Im looking forward to delving deeper and gaining even more skills from it. Ex3: I was unable to complete the second exercise. I had tried to do it but for some reason adobe bridge wasn't co-operating and the files just weren't working for me. I couldn't get the photo from photoshop into adobe bridge with the instructions from the book so I had tried alternate ways and managed to get the photograph onto adobe bridge but the rest of the instructions didn't work out for me.

Natural Light Lab  F 5.6, 1/25 ISO -100 Finding someone to photograph has been my toughest challenge so far with Photography. I managed to capture this photograph with luck because working with children is a really tough job. I feel I managed to capture the 45 degree natural light photograph really well here because we can see the shadow on the subjects face. 90 Degree indoor natural light. I felt this photograph captured the  90 degree natural light really well. There's a soft light on the side on the subjects face, while the other side has a shadow.  This was a really tricky photograph to capture because my sister wouldn't stay still.  F 5.6, 1/25 ISO 100, This is another 90 degree natural light photograph. I feel this captured the technique quite well despite my little sister on the verge of crying😂. I really like how the grey wall adds some depth to the portrait.  F5.6, 1/25 ISO100  This doesn't show the techniques needed for this lab, I just liked thi...

Portrait Photography 10% Lab  Butterfly  This photograph I  found easier to capture. We can see the shadow underneath the nose which looks almost like a butterfly.                                 Remembrant This shot was a little bit tricky, I will definitely practise this style more to perfect it. there is still light on the side of the face with some shadow.        Broad This  photograph has one side of the subjects face with more light. I feel I did quite well with this photograph and of course with more practise it will get better. Split This was a simple photo to capture, half the subjects face has a shadow cast on it and the other half has a nice brightness to it creating that split effect. Loop This photo was a bit tricky to capture, it was all about finding that balance with the light to be able to create that loop effect after a while I  managed...
