Photo #2
Objective 3: Elements and Principles of Design
The principles of design demonstrated (describe the use):
- Contrast, there is a big difference in contrast in this photo. The light to dark on his face is a huge difference. This light and dark gives the photo a very suspenseful feel.
The elements of design demonstrated (describe the use):
- Shape, the head and shoulders make a triangle which creates a strong, intense feel.
- Form, the light is not completely harsh it is somewhat diffused so there is some light rapping around the face which creates a 3D look. Also his face is far from the wall so you can see a 3D look there too.
- Space, his face is the positive space and the focal point. While the wall and everything else is negative space.
- Value, his face and shirt are the same colours but have different shades throughout because of the light.
Objective 4: Lighting
Type of lighting and why: - Harsh, side lighting. I had my model stand beside a window that had more of harsh lighting because it creates a very big change in light and dark which creates a dark, mysterious feel that I wanted to capture in the photo. I also used side lighting to have one side of his face and eye bright and visible and the other almost completely not visible.
Objective 5: Post Production
Corrections/adjustments made: - I resized the photo for flickr. I added some sharpening and adjusted the contrast a little to make a really dark look on his face. I used the dodge tool on the eye to make it more bright and stand out more. I added a black border for an even more dark feel.
Objective 6: Critique
-I could of used exposure composition to create the light and dark on the photo instead of using curves on photo shop, I think that would of made the photo look better. The back round is very plain and is not a distraction for the eye which is good. The head tilt Conor has creates many feelings which I think benefit the photos feel.
