Confidence

180 ppi, 15. 82 x 23. 73, Traditional Digital Photography

 

For this weeks assignment I wanted to work with sunglasses. I grabbed two pairs of sunglasses that I had, one having reflective lenses and the other just being all black. I tried out both pairs, and was unable to decide which I preferred. I liked the reflective ones, but I thought it could be a little distracting as a portrait. I made my subject, Ryan, give me multiple expressions (almost all confident looks). I wanted the expression to match the style of sunglasses he was wearing. I tried one with Ryan standing up as well, and I think it worked out well. Editing for this week included adjusting levels and curves, using the sepia effect, and also boosting the yellows in the portraits. They added more color to the photos and made them turn out better. This seemed to be a successful week!
