Hynda Blum- Topic 2: Recipe


Phone: Iphone 4S
Application: Afterlight

With this photo, I wanted to utilize the strong lighting I was presented with in the room. I took this photo inside of a studio of Annenberg. This studio is where my friends and I get a lot of work done for various subjects. The subject in the photo was editing a video and we all loved the way it was turning out. I took advantage of this passionate moment and decided to take this picture along with the great lighting of the room. 

I really wanted to get up close and personal with this assignment. With this photo, I decided to extrapolate what it means facially to have passions or emotions and to really hone in on the whole thing. I think this picture conveys strong, straightforward passion/emotion as a result of honing in and because I chose not to have any sort of potentially distracting background. 

With this photo, I decided instead of doing the entire face of the subject, I wanted to crop and only use this region presented above. I told the subject to wrinkle up their face in excitement and then I got very close to their face and centered the shot. I held down the screen of my iPhone so that it could properly adjust lighting and focus. I then took the photo and this was the result. I then went ahead and edited it in Afterlight. I adjusted the shadowing and highlights slightly and I re-aligned the photo so that it would be as straight and centered as possible.
