Residence: Madrid

Occupation: Surreal portrait photographer

Born in Madrid, Spain, Manu Pombrol is a 38-year-old artist and photographer whose self-portraits are nothing short of extraordinary. Pombrol first started down a creative path when, at a very young age, he painted pictures or portraits in pastels. Then, as computers started making their way into the mainstream, he worked in graphic design. He bought his first camera in 2007. In his words, "Everything started to make sense. I found out (a little bit late) that photography was the perfect tool to show what was in my mind. I was seduced by the insane idea of mixing reality and surrealism, trying to create my own art language." in an interview Pombrol said "I have never attended any seminars or educational courses. However, I don't like to call myself a 'self-taught artist', because I know it's very important to talk, to share and to discuss with other photographers or artists to find answers to different problems, and that's the best 'school' ever". Most of his photos are used for websites and are free and available for anyone to use.

Residence: Los Angeles

Occupation: Magazine Photographer

Education: 3 Year photography course at Los Angelea High School

Zimmerman first started out doing photography when he was in junior high school, he joined a hobby club with his friends. Zimmerman then took at three year photography course in a Los Angeles high school.

Zimmerman's use of unique camera placements, electronic lighting techniques, slit cameras, remote controlled cameras, motor-driven camera sequences, and double-shutter designs revolutionized how sports were viewed. in 1963 when he left Sports Illustrated he had assembled a wide portfolio that showed all his unique style of photography.

From 1964 until Zimmerman retired in 1991 he worked for all the major magazines covering notable subjects of American popular culture. He had four of his time covers placed in the Smithsonian's National Portrait gallery. He also covered six Summer Olympic games and four Winter Olympic games between the years of 1956 to 1984.

Up to a certain point, the smaller the pin hole, the better the quality, with a smaller pin hole, the image produced will be sharper than a camera with a larger pin hole. A pin hole camera also requires a long exposure time so the shutter is normally made up of a simple flap made of a light proof material so that it can be operated and kept open for how ever long is needed.

STEP ONE

The first thing that needs to be done is the photo paper removed from the pin hole camera and placed into the tray containing the developer chemical. The photo will need to be in the developer for around 2 to 3 minutes, it needs to be constantly moved around slightly, either by moving it with tongs or by gently shaking the try.

STEP TWO

The photo then needs to be removed from the developer tray and placed into the tray containing the stop chemical, you photo only needs to be in this tray for around 30 seconds but again, it needs to be constantly moved.

STEP THREE

After removing the photo from the stop tray, it needs to be place into the tray containing the fixer chemical. it needs to be in this try for around 1 minute and as the same in steps one and two, the photo needs to be constantly moved.

STEP FOUR

When your photo has been through all three chemical trays and has developed, it needs to be placed into a water bath and left for around 5 minutes. After that is done the photos can then be hung to dry, this takes a few hours but once dry, you then have your final, pinhole photo.

I am impressed with my magazine cover and I do believe I have managed to get it at a near professional standard. The photos to the left are the magazine covers I got my ideas from and I believe my cover is to a standard just as good as the ones shown.

To capture my light paintings that you can see here, I had to have the camera settings on manual with the ISO at 200 and the aperture at 8, these two settings stayed the same for all of my shots, this was to allow just the right amount of light in and to also make sure that the light was sharp and clear to see. The only setting that I did change for the shoot was the shutter speed, my average speed was 13 seconds, this was so that there was enough time to play around with the lights and capture the light paintings and ideas wanted.

I had my camera set up on the tripod and had other members of my class and I, play around with coloured lights. I also made a stencil, to experiment and see what I could capture. I made a stencil of a light bulb out of black card, I needed to use black card so that none of the light would shine through the paper. Once I had the stencil just how I wanted, I put it on the front of a box with a glow stick inside, this actually worked really well and i manged to capture a couple of good shots.

The task was to capture an image with a shallow depth of field. To do this I used a zoom lens with a macro setting between 200 and 300mm. The aim was to focus on one particular thing, in my case, this was to focus on a certain word on a page full of writing. To be able to do this I had to have the camera set in manual with the ISO at 200, the aperture set at 5.6 and the shutter speed at 1/60. I needed to use a low F/stop number so that I could have a large aperture, this allowed me to focus on just one word on the page, whereas, having a large F/stop number, gives me a smaller aperture which would bring all the other word on the page in focus, which is not the effect I want to achieve.

The Camera Sim website allowed me to play around with the settings of a camera to get an understanding of what the best settings are, how to frame a subject to capture the best photos, and also what settings to change depending on the different environments.
