Group photo:
For this assignment we had to take a photograph that represented our school. In my group, we chose to portray the many different arts at our school. We chose a photographer, a dancer, an artist and two musicians. When we scouted for places to shoot we all seemed to like this place the best. The hardest part of this shoot was arranging our models. We had a general idea of how we wanted them but we ended up changing it up. The right lighting was pretty easy to find and we were able to set up the strobe lights in a way to give the photo more contrast/detail. Our models were awesome, they listened to us and tried to do what we wanted them to do. once we took our photos we printed them. Only a few of them were really good, the others were just okay. So we just the best and this is just one of them. Overall this assignment was fun and we got to learn how to use strobe and work with a group of models.

Response to Manjari Sharma's Work

Manjari Sharma's work is influential to me because in her portraits she uses subjects that have a natural aura giving them their point of essence. Her capture on the people she takes shots of are unexplainable and I like the way she portrays her photos. Her portraits that she portrays are quite beautiful and the scenery of her photos are also rich. The lighting she uses have great focal points on the subjects because they show their true personalities. Her focus on the people in the portraits are bright and have great contrast and it is very enjoyable. Plus her process of her works are nice. In the assignment that will be assigned to us, I hope I can create a portrait as good as Sharma's.
