Portrait (No Photoshop)
This was by far the hardest image I took, and I am very pleased with it. I went through four models trying to get this one shot. From the moment I first picked my mood, this was the image that popped into my head. Its kind of humerus how it was the last image I ended up taking for this project. I went through 140 images just for this one shot.
The technical aspects of this image were the use of a tripod, although it wasn't on the ground. I used the tripod as leverage to get this image without casting a shadow from the spotlight I used. The water in the tub made everything blurry, so i tried to compensate that by using an fstop of 7 in hopes that everything else would be nice and crisp. Because I had a high aperture, I had to compensate by using a slow shutter speed. I rested the tripod on my side to help stable the camera while I took my image.
This image reflects the mood overwhelmed because when you are overwhelmed you feel suffocated. I chose to represent this by having my model underwater. Her face is almost pained. I chose to have my model fully dressed to help symbolize being overwhelmed. If she were undressed and I had taken the image from the shoulders up you would have gotten the feeling that some one was just taking pictures of someone bathing. I wanted to exaggerate the feeling of being overwhelmed by having her fully dressed. Again the light around the tub seems to be closing in on my model.
