Kim

Photo taken Wednesday, November 12 on the Performing Arts Center Main Stage. The subject is Kim Streblow. Kim is also a photographer. She let me use her detachable flash to create this image. The shadow isn’t as hard as I think it should be.

Night Table Reading

Photo taken Monday, November 17 at my apartment (my bedroom). I placed my night table in front of the window. The books were already stack like this, but I added the lamp because of the shape it has to offer. The lettering on the books might be distracting, but I didn’t want to photoshop them out completely, so I got them as dark as I could.

Fill Light- Bounce Card

Crayons

Photo taken Friday, November 14 in the Green Room of the Performing Arts Center. The main light source is a table lamp. I used a blank piece of white paper as the bounce card. It reduced the shadow quite a bit, but if I did it again, I’d get a bigger bounce card, to reduce the shadow more.

Fill Light- Ambient Light

Sunlight On My Teddy Bear

Photo taken Sunday, November 16 at my apartment. I had set up this make-shift photo studio the night before this was taken. There was light coming in the window and shining nicely on the bear.

Front Light- Low Key

Kate

Photo taken in the lobby of the Performance Art Center on Friday, November 14. The subject is Kate Billison. I tried to get in a darker corner so the light coming in the large windows in the lobby wasn’t as prominent. The main light source is my laptop in front of her.

Front Light- High Key 2

Flash at Night

Photo taken Friday, November 14 behind the Performing Arts Center. It was just past dusk, not completely dark yet. I used the flash on the camera to create the high key.

My Teddy Bear has a Shadow

I created a small photo studio in my apartment on November 14. I used a lava lamp (sans lava bottle) as the main source of light shining on the teddy bear.
