Photography 1-2 Project 8 Two Portraits

Photography 1-2 Project 8 Two Portraits
Fine Art
Working away
In this I attempted to work with natural light, however I found it difficult to find a good spot. For editing I worked with vibrance, saturation, and contrast in this photo.












Hardened
I also attempted to work with light in this photo, and capture an emotion which the viewer could enjoy. In this photo I lowered the saturation and worked with the shadowing and contrast.














Commercial
Confidence
For this photo I increased the saturation and cropping and also worked with vibrance and contrast to give off the impression that he's an athlete which could be used as a magazine cover.





















Pre-work:
Fine Art
Jay Terry
I like this photo for its tone and and use of gradients, and captures this man and give the viewer a idea of what he could be.









Russ Elkins
I like this photo and its uses of black and white. I also like the stark contrast between shades and the dark background which brings forward the figure. This photo seems to hold a lot of emotion and backstory which captivates the imagination.










Commercial
Wired Magazine
I like the use of posture along with magazine layout which provides the viewer with a good idea of whats inside. I also like the saturation of this photo.
Gentlemen's Quarterly
I like the use of lighting in this photo and the work with saturation and exposure. It also displays what is in the magazine.
