What did I learn from this unit?: I learned how to make a simple picture more visually appealing. I used my creative side which I usually don't use.

Something that I would have changed?: I would have wanted to put more effort into some of the pictures I took to make them represent me more than just being a regular picture.

Why is this person important in your life?  This person is important in my life because he is my boyfriend. We have been together for 3 years and i have a lot of great memories with him. I love taking pictures of him because I like to see his personality come through. Since I care about him so much it makes taking pictures if him so much fun.

How does their personality depict your artistic decisions?  His personality is centered around being happy and playing sports.  I decided to do most of his shots with sports equipment do you could see the sports that he plays. I also had him wear clothing that represented that sport. I had him slightly smile in some pictures to show how sweet and happy he usually is. I had him be serious in some pictures because the sports that he plays requires him to be aggressive and serious. In some other photos I had him wear nice clothes to show the other side of him that is sweet and mature. In those same photos i had him have more of a serious face to show the maturity. 

How has this unit affected your photography?  This unit has affected my photography by helping me think about more than just the poses and background. It has also shown me how to use light to enhance the colors and feature of my photos. I think this unit overall made me much better at photography. I think these are are some of my best photos. 

Lighting Final Contact Sheet

Silhouette

1. My thoughts about this non-traditional way of taking silhouette shots is that it is really easy and makes things look more out of the box. It was helpful for someone like me that isn't as creative look more creative. 

2. Yes, I enjoy what photoshop has to offer! I like how you can do more than just a plain color. I really enjoyed using the gradient effect.

3. My thoughts of the outcome are that it looks really cool. Its another way of telling a story though more than just the model.

• I learned a lot about the lighting unit. I learned how lighting can affect the way the face looks and how it can impact a black and white photo. I learned that there are different kinds of shadows that look better than others and i learned that there are ways to fill the face and have no shadows. 
• Success that I found throughout this project is that I took a lot of shots so i had a lot of options to choose from. Some recommendations I have is to always take a lot of shots and try different things because lighting can really make things look different.
