Title: Emma
Technique: Portraits / Lighting. Taken with a DSLR.
Process: The subject stood in front of a black sheet and we had a reflector on the right hand side. Lighting was provided from a light on the right hand side of the subject. This is Rembrandt Lighting because there is a triangle under the subjects eye.
Reasoning: This was part of our tutorial lesson experimentation.
Reflection: I would not change anything and am really happy with the result. It is a really natural photo and captures the essence of the subject.

Title: Brothers For Life
Technique: Portraits / Lighting. Taken with a Canon DSLR using the composition, Rule of Thirds on a Manual Setting.
Lighting: Lighting was direct (sun) and was positioned behind me (the photographer).
Process: I found a white wall that reflected the perfect light, without any shadow from the subject in focus. The camera was in a manual setting with the ISO at 800 and aperture lower so there wasn't so much light coming in to the lense.
Reasoning: My partner and his brother are 5 years apart but look like twins. I have always been curious to see how their faces would look as one.
Reflection: Without a tripod, the camera moved from photo to photo which didn't allow for the right position each time. Also, my partner (right) was further away from the camera and to ensure their faces matched up, I had to crop and zoom in Photoshop, resulting in the neck and shirt lines not lining up.

Title: Horror
Technique: Portraits / Lighting. Taken with a Canon DSLR using the composition, Rule of Thirds on a Manual Setting.
Lighting: Lighting was an iphone torch light held behind the camera as a direct light onto the subject, which subsequently caused a very prominent shadow.
Process: I wanted to play around with shadows and found the most effective way was to turn off all the lights and only provide a sufficient enough light to focus on the subject's face. I ended up achieving a shadow that doubled the size of my subject and created a dark and ominous feeling.
Reasoning: We had been watching scary movies so I wanted to create a horror moment in photography by creating shadows, darkness and deep
Reflection: Without being able to actually really see anything, I couldn't tell if the subject was in focus and only later discovered that once the photos had been uploaded to the computer.

Title: Twins
Technique: Portraits / Lighting. Taken with a DSLR on a Manual Setting.
Lighting: Direct light from the sun casting a shadow and stream of light hitting the subject from the left.
Process: I didn't want it to just be a standard photo so played around with layering and managed to create a clone in photoshop. I lowered the opacity so it appeared like his shadow / twin double.
Reasoning: I noticed the last was casting a really sharp stream to our apartment wall and asked my boyfriend to stand in front of it.
Reflection: I am quite short, whereas my boyfriend is quite tall so I would have liked to have taken the photo at his eye level. However, I am happy with the photo and loved seeing the effects that this direct lighting played in portraying an emotion.

Title: Light Dark
Technique: Portraits / Lighting. Taken with a DSLR on a Manual Setting.
Lighting: Direct light from the sun
Process: We were walking to the park when the sun started to set and provided a really beautiful stream of light that created a glow around my boyfriend. When my boyfriend moved less than a meter, the same sun cast a completely different light on him - this time making him clearer and more visible. I was so surprised at the difference a slight movement by the subject made on the harshness or light. Neither photo was edited.
Reasoning: Both of these photos were completely unintentional but ended up being really effective. I am really happy with the simplicity of these images both depicting the impact direct sunlight has on the photogrpah.
