Project 9 - Fine Art and Commercial Portraits - Contact Sheet

In my first fine art shoot, I photographed my friend, Sydney. For these photos, I like the darker lighting, because it brings out the natural light of the fireplace. It gives the photo a very sophisticated feel. Later on, I am hoping to edit these photos to potentially make the fire light radiate from the center of the picture. My second shoot was my commercial portrait shoot. Here, I photographed my friends, Emily and Sara. In this shoot, I was attempting to recreate a kind of Seventeen Magazine Shoot. In these photos, I liked the bright colors and the backdrop of the shoot. While shooting, I tried to keep the lighting very bright and have very clear and sharp images. For my last fine art shoot, I mostly shot my friend, Emily. In this shoot, I used a desk lamp to illuminate different parts of my model and to create shadows. The two photos I am mostly interested in editing are the two with more edits. In these photos, I like the dramatic shadows and different lighting. By changing them to black and white, they brought out the shadows more and gave the photo a more cohesive feel.
