Project 6: Multiple Image Techniques

Lincoln High School

This picture was taken on top of the Lincoln High School field. The technique I used was panorama. I took multiple pictures starting from the left side of the field and shooting across to the right side. Then in editing, I opened all the pictures to photoshop panoramic and merged them all together. I then warped it to crop out the ledge. I then edited the overall photo by boosting contrast and shadows and adjusting the exposure.

My Street

This picture was taken upon my deck on my street in Portland, OR. The technique I used was HDR. I took multiple pictures by adjusting the shutter speed on my camera and producing many pictures from  really light and really dark. In editing, I merged the clearest light photo with the clearest dark photo together to create a happy medium. From there I edited the radius and strength as well as the gamma and detail.

Street Signs

Both of these pictures were taken on street corners in the pearl district of Portland, OR. The technique I used was multiple exposure. I took pictures of different street signs because I thought it would look cool in the final product. In editing I went into photoshop and basically overlapped and merged the two photos. The one on the bottom shown through the top photo creating a multiple exposure effect. I then cropped the final photo and adjusted the curves, contrast, and exposure. 

My best 15 photos from second quarter

Three photographs by a photographer I admire, Lara Jade

The three photographs below are from one of my favorite photographers, Lara Jade. Jade is a young photographers whose photographs are usually candid shots of young women that consist of some kind of fashion aspect. Her photos usually contain lots of color and interesting locations. I like Jade's work because I love fashion photography and she makes every one of her pictures enjoyable to look at and each one always seem to have a story to them that are left up to your interpretation.

 

 

This is one of my favorite Lara Jade photos. I love the different fashion aspects such as the gold shoes and the star leggings. I like the angle at which this photo was shot, she is obviously looking off at something and it leaves you wondering what she is looking at because you can only see a sliver of what is behind her.

 

 

 This is another one of my favorites of Jade's photographs. Obviously the emphasis and focal point is on the girl, but there's so much going on behind her as well. I like how your eye is immediatley drawn to the girl, but if you really pay attention and look closey, there's a whole scene going on in the distance.

 

 

 

I enjoy the retro aspect of a portion of Jade's photographs. I like how each one of her photos focuses on a fasion statement as well. I think the unity in this photo is really cool. How the phone booth, the girl, the soda, and the fliers on the side just all come together with the damaged wall and the color of her dress and sunglasses.

My three best images from first quarter

This was take near the Cargo shop in downtown Portland. I really liked the contrast in this photo. I like how it's sort of mysterious looking through the crack and seeing the bright red door. 

I personally really like this piece I took in pioneer square. It's always bee fascinating to me how it shows arrows pointing to so many places around the world even though they're so far away from Portland. I liked the colors used in this photo as well.

This was taken in downtown Portland by a shop called Cargo. I liked this photo because of the variety of colors. I also liked how it focuses on the pay to park sign but then behind it there's a whole scene going on and it gives you a glimpse into the city.
