Phone 4S // Afterlight App
The techniques I used were pretty consisted with most of my pictures. I saw a subject that I thought was ideal to photograph and I set myself up so the photo would be composed in a tasteful manner. I usually held down the screen before taking the shot so that the camera would adjust properly to the lighting and focus. I also experimented with different angles for my shots. Some were horizontal, some were vertical and some were perfectly centered while others were angled a bit differently.
With this topic, I used a few different shooting strategies. Firstly, every photo taken had some sort of message behind it. Every shot contained a subject or location that was memorable for ,me in some way. I intentionally made most of mine a bit abstract as to the exact message so the viewers could conclude ideas on their own. I also used the Afterlight application to add light leaks, filters, an aged appearance and different lighting and contrast adjustments.
My exact recipe goes as follows: first, the lighting of a situation catches my eye. To me, lighting can truly make or break a photo. Next, I usually see something that inspires me. I then utilize the lighting and the subject and I work on the perfect angle. I adjust the phones settings to get a clear shot and I press the shutter. From there, I open that photo in the Afterlight app and I adjust the alignment of the picture. I like when my photos are level because if it is at an awkward angle, it takes away from the shot. I adjust lighting and add features as needed, and everything combines evokes mystery, emotion and interpretation.
