Porject 9 Commercial Portrait, Magazine Cover

I made a few magazine covers. These photos were shot outside of Lincoln High School. I first used Lightroom to edit the brightness and contrast, as well as other aspects of the photos. Once in photoshop I was able to turn these photos into magazine covers. The 1st photo I tried to mostly capture the subject as he was posed against a telephone pole. I played with the lighting until I was happy. For the second cover, I took a more modern approach. As for the final cover, I just found this photo amusing and decided I will edit it.

Commercial portraits/magazine covers and fine art portraits

Complex magazine. I like this photo because of the originality and  editing of it. I like the how must of the colors are pretty light. The font of the text is appealing. 

Complex magazine. I really like the editing of this photo, it is also very original. The aren't too many colors, but is still appealing. The two colors contrast each other so the cover of the magazine is more flashy and fun to look at.

Fine art portrait by Tejal Patni. The guy in this photo really stands out from the background and the yellow tennis racquet brings out the other colors even more. The photo is pretty dark which gives it a more serious tone. 

Fine art portrait by Jody Ake. This photo is a daguerrotypes.

I think that fine art portraits focus more on the subject rather than the background. They are also have better lighting to focus more on the person .These two are also a lot darker than the magazine covers. The magazine covers are more flashy and gripping and are focused more on the whole photo, not just the subject.

Project 8 Multiple Image Techniques

For this project we had to shoot an HDR photo, a multiple exposure photo, and a panorama photo.

HDR edit. The original photo was shot at a very long shutter speed and then copied 5 times, each photo set at a different contrast in photoshop. Then I changed the gamma correction and other things.

Motion edit. To make this photo I shot multiple photos of the swing, in photoshop i compiled the  swing photos into one. Each layer has a different opacity, giving it the impression the subject is moving.

Panoramic. This photo was shot with an Iphone 4s. It was later edited in photoshop and lightroom.
