HEADSHOT

This is my Rembrandt headshot of Melissa Baumann. The shot was taken with studio lighting to create a Rembrandt look. The photo had to have a creative feel; it couldn’t just be a straight headshot. For that reason I tilted the camera. In the editing stage I cranked up the contrast to ensure her facial features and lighting were more defined. I brightened her eyes to make them pop and removed most blemishes to give the photo a fresher feel. After that I made the background black as this was one of the requirements of the headshot. To complete the photo I made sure the lighting was correct and added a little more light and contrast. Then my headshot was complete.

ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY

This is one of my architectural photos. It has many elements that were required for the photo. I think what makes it an amazing shot is the creative work of art and graffiti and different textures in the photo. The framing work using the bricks is an excellent part of the photo and also the old rustic look of the bright red bricks. This is a great image to pump up the contrast on because the art work very colourful. This photo also has some mystery behind it, and the door brings different levels to the photo so there isn’t just a flat plain wall. There is pattern and detail brought into this shot as well as perspective with the lines and brick. I met the exact requirements for this photo.
