Panorama / Multiple

Multiple Shot

For this assignment, we had to take pictures of the same object/people in the same environment and layer the pictures on photoshop to make it look like it's all one picture. While shooting, the camera had to be on a tripod to make sure that the background was in the same position. I put all 3 pictures into photoshop, and used one of them to layer the pictures in. This is done by using the lasso tool and cropping a certain part of the picture and placing the part where the people are, in place. I really enjoyed this process because it taught me how to do certain things on photoshop that I didn't know how to do before. 

Panorama

Shooting for a panorama was difficult for me. I had to shoot multiple times because for the first few times, the people in the pictures wouldn’t necessarily move their body but move their face/expression. Other than this, I had to make sure that the pictures were aligned for the merging on photoshop to work. The process on photoshop was really easy because all we had to do was export the pictures onto photoshop and then click automate - then photomerge. Photoshop was able to do the work for me.

Photo Story

For this assignment, we are asked to shoot a photo story. A photo story is a series of photos that represent or tell a story. For this assignment, I decided to tell the story of the Japanese Macaque's also known as the snow monkeys. These monkey's are one of a kind due to the fact that they depend on Nagano's natural hot springs for warmth during the winter. I wanted to show how these monkeys were able to stay calm and reserved while there were numerous amounts of tourists surrounding them. 

These pictures were taken with my iPhone 5. 

Portraits

Portrait Eyes

Before this assignment, I thought portraits were just pictures of people looking into the camera, little did i know there were multiple types of portraits. This assignment was to take two different types of portraits, portrait eyes and environmental portraits. Portrait eye pictures are meant to tell a story through the window to the soul. We're meant to capture what we think they represent themselves as. A portrait eye picture should have the person looking straight into the camera and fill up most of the picture or frame. An environmental portrait is a portrait where the person is in their environment and living their daily lives. In the environmental pictures I took, it shows that they’re just surrounded by an environment they’re usually exposed to (school).
