I enjoyed doing this project with my friend Danielle. We went to Willow Mill Park since we both enjoy being outdoors. It took about two hours to take all of the pictures, but we had a lot of fun in the process.

My model is my good friend, Danielle. She's a very laid back but super funny and I showed that through the photos. I think that this assignment was a lot of fun and I think that the pictures turned out alright, but could be better. The model thought that they turned out alright too, but her mom loved them. Some things you should do is plan out poses and know how to work your camera. I think that the most challenging part about this assignment was just trying to get the best picture but I like the way the natural light makes the pictures look and how there's different, beautiful backgrounds.

Elaine Gates Recap

Don't shoot looking up at your subject, but down.
Make the body bend so it doesn't look stiff.
Move yourself around the person and find an angle to make them look best.
You can make any location work.
The best time to shoot is an hour before sunset.

HDR






All Photos: ISO 400; f/22

I think that HDR pictures are awesome since they show the detail in everything and everything just pops.

I always photograph anything outdoors and I wouldn't say they tell a story, but they tell a lot about me and anything outdoors is what I like to photograph.

Where the sun is located really effects what the photo looks like, especially like the last black and white photo. The sun is located behind the trees and it gives it a glowing look behind the trees.
