Silk Screen

For this project I used a picture that I already had. I took out the background in photoshop so that when I put it through the silk screen you would only be able to see the bodies. I thought this picture was perfect because it has a meaning. Also the clothing is perfect. The man on the right has a different coloured suit. This puts emphasis on him being separate. I put the picture in the corner of the shirt because i thought that if it was in the middle it wouldn't look as nice. This way your eye is drawn to the corner of the shirt using rule of thirds.

Double Exposure

This picture is called a double exposure because in order to make it you expose two different pieces of film on the same piece of photo paper. To do this you have to set the timing precisely so that you don't make either of the photo's to dark. In other words it is like manually photo shopping two pictures together. In order to do this I started with the picture of the girl's face. I made sure that I set the magenta to a perfect level so that I could get the black's and white's I wanted. Once I got this picture right, I set up another enlarger with the other picture. This picture i wanted to have a little darker so that it would show up on her face. To do this I made the exposure time a little bit longer. I also had to make sure that the tree would fit on her face the way I wanted it to. To do this i had to make sure that the tree was smaller. Then once both enlarger's were ready I started with the larger picture. I used a piece of cardboard to blur out the part where the tree would be. This is so that there wouldn't be an overlap in the photo's. I then did the same thing with the other enlarger. I used a piece of cardboard to cover the rest of the photo so that it wouldn't get over exposed. Overall it took me multiple trial's. Each photo came out differently because of the way the cardboard was being held or the positioning of the tree.

Painting With Light 3

For all of the photo's in painting with light I used the Canon Rebel T1I. To create each of these pictures I had to put the shutter speed very high. Most of the pictures were taken with a 25 second shutter speed however some were more and some were a little less depending on how much light I wanted to have in the picture. I then used a different version of the light in each picture. Depending on the way I turned the flash light or the way it faced the camera would give me different results. Another thing that changed from picture to picture, was the how long I turned the light on for. If the light was on longer it would have made it brighter in the picture. I tried to use different variations of lighting to create a variety of photographs.

Portrait 3

For each of these photo's I used the Canon Rebel t1i. Depending on the lighting I adjusted the apparture and shutter speed to make sure each picture wasn't to light or dark. For this portrait I used two lights. I used one light on each side. The light on the right side of her face is more noticeable because it was placed closer to her face. The one on the left was placed above her head and slightly more to the middle to help decrease the shadows from her eyes and nose.

In this picture I also used the Canon Rebel T1i. I placed one light on the left side of her face and one but slightly to the right. I then was using the light reflector to angle more light onto her forehead. The person who moved the light reflector created wind and I put it on a small shutter speed in order to capture the moment and have all her hair up in the air.
