A portrait is a painting, photograph , sculpture of people, possibly animals, in which  the face or their expression is the most noticeable. A portrait can tell us a story, can show us the personality and mood of the person, it can be very complex because of the emotions/ facial structures. When
a portrate is taken is of living or live activity. A portrait can show  a person looking directly to the photographer or painter or to a different subject.

Dorothea Lange, took this captivating image in the time of the great depression. This photograph is powerful, this mother is in a very deep thought because she is wondering how she is gonna survive this era and help her children at this time of their lives. This image captures the strength of a mother when everything is lost and nothing to eat. When looking at this image, the background although not seen much it almost looks that they are just sitting in the outdoors on a tent made out of sticks and sheets.
Dorothea Lange wanted to show how extreme these people were in need during the Great Depression era, she wanted to change people’s perspective and she wanted to show how powerful an image can be when people look back at this image.
This image is captivating, a mother’s love to her children is everything. This image makes me aware of the history, the Photographer captioned emotions when taking this photograph, of sadness, worried/concerned and heartbreak.
A truly beautiful image that speaks a thousand words.
Amazing photography shot taken in a decisive moment.

Lee Jeffries has made homelessness the focus of his work, he is a photographer who taught himself to take amazing photos. He has made black and white images of people living in the streets.
In my opinion his work is amazing every image is in great detailed, every line, every wrinkle.
This image underneath of this homeless woman is very captivating to me because it shows that homelessness don't have the privilege of health care, I think the message that this photographer is sending is that there is a very large number of homelessness all around the world and they are ignored by every day people, no one stops and see what they may be going through or try to help in any way. His image impacted me as a person and how I view them, because even I don't take notice of homeless people most of the time. This has made me stop and think when I next see someone laying on the floor.
Lee Jeffries enhances his photographs because he wants his viewers to look at the persons eyes, on his image we can see how the eyes on this way is very dominant, that is the first thing I notice and look at.
There is so much emotions and expressions on his image, this woman seems crazy in a way, the way that she is looking towards the lenses of the camera is almost as she is fed up of everyone around her.
I do love this photographers work, I believe his technique is unique and amazing. It is really an eye popping work that captivates my eyes and I only just want to know and see more of his work.

Dan Winters is recognized for his celebrity portraiture. An American photographer, illustrator, filmmaker and writer.
I love the image underneath of the actor Christina Ricci. Dan Winters is very clever on how he uses his lighting skills, I feel his portrait is very clean, he tries to capture images with emotions that keep you thinking and wondering. I really like the lighting on this portrait, Dan's work have similar colours such as blacks, different tones of greys, bluish grey. What stood out for me on this image was the emotion on her face, I loved the colour tones. I think the red on this image really gives it that extra special touch on this image. The red on her lips matching her top really did give it that extra factor on this image. The subject is very condense into her own thoughts on this image.
when I first looked at this artist work I did think he was very different from the artist I have research before him, I did feel as there was not much emotion on theses images but I do believe is because all his portraits are off famous artists so feels a little fake, there is no story of why he is showing us these images. But now as I am learning further I realised he is showing us that we can create our own story when taking portraits, we can control the lighting, the colours to give it as much of a feel as we would like on our own images.

Decisive moment: we have a moment in time, a very short moment, where we see a decision happen. We act on that moment to take the perfect shot. There would not be the same shot on a decisive moment.

Ephemeral / Ephemerality:
Ephemeral has a short life, something that lives and dies really quickly, just like a butterfly, butterfly live and die very quickly, only here for a very short of time. Life is very precious, in street photography is a moment caption in time. Special moments, precious moments that would be over in a split second.

Juxta position:
Is a fancy word for contrast.
This happens when you have or place two contrasting subjects side by side. The contrast between the two subject can create an image look much more interesting.

Candid:
A Candid photography is taken without creating a pose, it is an image taken in an act/ moment, without any preparation on taking the photograph. The subject is in motion when photograph is taken, subject may not realise photographs are being taken as they will be distracted when the image is being taken. They may not even know the image is being taken.

Observational:
Observational photography it is variety because what catches my eyes may be different of what would catch someone else's eye. We all have captured images of real life.
There are different types of Observational photography such as: street photography/ portraiture, documentary photography and photojournalism.
Observational photography would define your work, it takes effort and time. It is important to analyse before taking the photograph, take different perspectives images and evaluate your location.

Off the hip:
Type of angle in photography, started by taking photographs taken off the hip.  Garry Winogrand took pictures of people life, holding the camera on his hip and started taking images of people's feet.  Great way of taking images of people without being aware that a photograph is being taken.

Zone Focusing:
Is a type of focusing system used by many photographers. Cameras have adjustable focus. The photographer can use the depth of field focus to have the desire object at working distance in focus. A camera can be adjust to be able to focus to take the shot.

Urban Landscapes: This is the key word to be able to describe a town or city worldwide. The image should be able to represent and attempt to understand your experience of the town/city.
Urban photography concentrates on structure, not people, people can be in an image but the image is focused on structure, things/subjects that do not move.
It is an artistic representation of the physical appearance of a city or an urban area.

Urban Landscape photographer, through looking at his photographs I have noticed that he really focused on environmental conditions. I feel as this artist is showing us how we can use land, sometimes we waste it as humans we take it for granted. He is making us aware of our surroundings.
His images are black and white, he does not show perfection on the environment but his images are perfectly framed. His image has amazing texture, shadows and amazing reflection showing on the water.

This image was my favorite of the day . I believe this image is so real. It is showing a hard worker doing his job on London's streets. I like how there is so much texture in this image.

I used Photoshop to edit this image to give it a different shade of feel by using the tools such as levels, hue saturation. I wanted to show the smoke a little more. the smoke on this image really gives it that beautiful motion.

A technique that is used really commonly in traditional photography and cinematography. The point of it is to illuminate a subject in all the right ways, in a effective way, to pleasing to the eye for others.
There are three types of lights:
KEY LIGHT: this lights is the main source of light in a photography.
FILL LIGHT: this light is used in photography to fill in the darker areas that the main light does not touch when looking at the subject.
BACK LIGHT: this light helps separates the subject and the background, this helps create a 3D effect.

# data[].attributes.body
This is when the main light illuminates the more exposed side of the face that is looking directly into the main light.

Short Portrait Lighting:
This is when the subject is facing to the left and the main light would also be coming from the left. This will show that there will be a patch of light on the broad side of the face and will not all be in shadow.

Rembrandt Lighting:
It is short lighting where the shadow from the nose connects with the shadow on the side of the face, creating a triangle of light on the short side of the face.

Split Portrait Lighting:
When the main light focuses on one side of the face making one side light and the other its just shadow.

Butterfly Portrait Lighting:
When the nose is pointing to the direction of the light , and the light is high enough to create a downward shadow under the nose, the shadow is shaped as a little butterfly effect  giving us butterfly lighting

Three point lighting : Studio photo shoot (1st attempt)

Three point lighting : Studio photo shoot (1st attempt)

# data[].attributes.body
On this photo shoot I used three lights, the key light, the fill light with a filter and the back light.
I used a gold reflector on these shots, I feel because of this there is a golden look to these images. I practiced different direction within lighting. Using different directions can help by giving different shots each time, it can be frontal lighting direction, this has a flattening effect, it does not give it a 3D effect. On my shot I noticed my model was squinting at times because the main light was so direct onto my subjects face. Side lighting direction can bring texture to my image because shadows will be on the opposite side of where the light is. This can bring out the texture on the subject. On people this may cause the person to have one half of their face to be in shadow, or just part of the face. It can empathised the texture of the face, such as wrinkles, skin pores etc. Back lighting direction, as the light is coming from the back of the subject there may be less highlight area but more of the shadow area, it gives it  3D feel to the image, a great way to make the subject stand out on the image and making it more dominant. The Intensity of lighting can affect your shot, the camera must be in the right settings, making sure the aperture, shutter speed and ISO is at the right settings. The intensity of the lights in the studios can also be higher or lower. You can change your lighting depending on how you would like your shot to look like. By having multiples light sources, this can affect the contrast on the image, contrast is created because the intensity of lighting is more greater on one side than another. for your image not to be appear flat you can reduce or increase the intensity of the lights.
It is important to use the focus on photography to get a clear shot. If the shot is not clear the image will be blurry and the image can not be used. Shape plays an important part in photography in 3 point lighting, if you point out narrow or white lighting, depending of the subject of the shoot, photographers needs to know which settings of the light to project towards the subject of the photo shoot because without proper lighting the image can be very dull/ unlit.

On this task I am learning about layers and masks on Photoshop.  To be able to get the mask effect I had to firstly upload my image, once image is loaded I had to copy my image by pressing CTRL + J , my next step was to press the vector mask which is located on the bottom right side. Once these steps were taken I could c on my screen my image and next to my image a blank white sheet right next to each other. I then clicked on my image to make it black and white, I made it black and white by selecting image, then adjustments and it then gave me the option to press black and white. After this I then clicked on my white blank layer to make the adjustment on my image. I then clicked the brush tool to then be able to un- colour the black and white area, this tool is to bring out certain parts of the colour in a black and white image.

This is very exciting to learn, I did experiment with 5 images which are below. I found it can be very hard to keep the mouse steady when colouring the area of choice.

This is my first attempt on making and ad for advertisement. I used an image of an object and through Photoshop I have used the magic wand to cut out the wine bottle, my next step was to put in on another blank layer where I changed the colour background, the added text. I think I done well with the time given, considering I've never have done this before. I like the colours in my add. I focused my add on mid- age adults mostly woman as I added the pinkie background. I find most woman do like to have a drink of wine when they are winning down from a long stressful day. Next time I will make an ad I will definitely add more detailed. I learned this new skill on Photoshop which I will use these steps for future references.

Split lighting is used by one single light source placed around 90 degrees from the subject and is placed a little bit higher than eye level, I lighted half of the face, and the other side of the face was on the shadow area. Split lighting is when we see half light shadow and half dark shadow.

This type of photography is called butterfly lighting because of the shape of the shadow beneath the nose. When the nose is pointing at the direction of the light it causes a shadow underneath. To be able to make this effect I had a full bean light behind me.
