Recreate a Photo Assignment


 


I tried to recreate the main part of the picture, which is the woman taking a selfie. The picture I took is similar in the sense that the position, attire, and accessories of the subject are the same as the original picture. The subject is also holding the phone in the same way as the original. The main difference in the picture I took is that it was taken indoors, as it was difficult to find the same kind of background as the original.





The picture I took here is surprisingly quite similar to the original photo. The person closer to the camera is wearing practically the same outfit, and the person on the back is wearing something very similar. The positioning of the subject is spot on, and the background is plain in both pictures. The main difference in my photo was the lack of an identifiable age difference between the two people. In the original, there appears to be at least a twenty-five-year gap between the two people, but in my picture, the two look like siblings (which is true!) instead of mother and daughter. 


     Out of my three recreated pictures, this one is probably the least accurate. Although the positioning of the subjects is once again almost perfect, my picture does not look genuine. In the original, there appears to be real emotion in the eyes of the subjects, however, my subjects lacked this character (perhaps it was their acting!). The background is plain and simple so I feel that it is still a well-done piece, but there are ways to improve the picture.

Double Colors Exposure Assignment

Image
I began this assignment by first taking multiple pictures of my subject to ensure I had several options to pick from. Once I uploaded the three pictures to Photoshop, I overlapped the different layers to ultimately overlap my subject on top of himself. I then entered the blending options in the fx window and played with the RGB combinations. This turned out to be an easy assignment, however it was a little difficult to ensure the subject was visible. To fix this, I applied the "Difference" filter on the 2 edge layers, which also ended up giving it a cool negative effect.

Forced Perspective Photography Assgnment

Image
       My goal for both of these pictures was to experiment with depth of field to create an image that makes the object in the background a lot smaller compared to the foreground. For the first picture, I acquired a miniature monument of the Eiffel Tower and placed a toy dinosaur in front of it. After playing around with the angles, I was able to create an image that makes the dinosaur look the same size as the Eiffel Tower, which is a massive structure in real life. For the second picture, I got my sister to hold out her hand and instructed my dad to move into a certain spot in the background. After numerous attempts, I was able to create a picture where it looks as if my dad has shrunk and is balancing on my sisters hand.        For the first picture, I would like to change the background since it looks a little bit fake. If I took this same picture outside with the horizon as the background, it would look much more realistic as the Eiffel To...

Aperture and Depth of Field Assignment 1

Image
I took 5 pictures of the same subject, but at 5 different f numbers. The pictures go from a small f number (at the top) to larger f numbers (at the bottom). I noticed that the smaller the f number, the less clearly I could see my subject. The pictures all look fairly similar, however the higher the f stop number, the more I could see in the picture (as in both foreground and background). I found that the larger f number gave me a better picture, however I understand this will vary depending on the light level of the setting.
