After going to the duck pond, I learned that lighting can really have an impact on the subject in a photo. With the right lighting, different moods can be brought about and can change how the audience views the image. We used a shot list to decide on which poses each person should do. Trey preferred the more serious poses, so we decided to shoot him doing those. I liked how each pose showed a different side of Trey. One where he is relaxed, another where he is serious, and the other is of him smiling. The poses allowed for each person to show different emotion, along with different amounts of body exposure. The reflector also allowed for the mood to alter. I liked the reflector because it allowed for the image to have really nice lighting in dark places, such as under a tree or under shade. The reflector allowed for my group to use light to brighten up the subject and give a nice color to the subject's skin tone. I retouched Trey's skin a little bit due to having facial hair and an uneven skin tone. I did this by using the surface blur edit to make his skin more smooth, but I also added noise to not make Trey look unrealistic. I set the noise at 2.5 for the images. Positions include fist under the chin, back and back leg up against a tree, and a head half turned looking over their shoulder. Some careers that use portrait photography are wedding photographers, commercial photographers for makeup or skin products, and studio photographers. Large companies will hire portrait photographers for advertisement and some families will hire for wedding portraits. Whether a large corporation for advertisement or a small town family for home pictures, anyone and everyone can hire a portrait photographer. Professional Portrait Photographers tend to make between $75-$250 an hour.

Education has found barriers through every recipient of knowledge in today’s society. Throughout history, women have been challenged with the ideology that men withhold a natural given grasp on intellectual content, when in reality, women have put an end to obstacles that stand in their way. Education is for all, and should be practiced as so. With technological advances becoming embedded in everyday usage, young men and women should be given the opportunity to assimilate to the new cultural norm. I chose this photograph of a girl using a computer due to her challenging the predominantly male field of computer science. Education is blind, and does not recognize race, gender, age, or sexuality, which are many of the contributions that restrict some from equal education. The girl personifies diversity in the educational environment and explores what it looks like to achieve academic intentions. Symbolizing the movement in current culture, the image of the girl puts forth a realization to what embodies education, equality.
For my food I brought in donuts. I thought this was a fun and colorful way to take pictures of food. Along with bringing in donuts, I also brought a plate/bowl and used one of Mrs. Moncure's wood boards for my background. I used these objects to change the angles of the donuts and make each pose different. The five things that I learned from food photography was point of view helps create a story, one wants to be more graphical than emotional with the point of view, details are important to help explain the story, especially in the background, the best props come from home, helps to create an authentic feel, and work with the color palette and use color harmony/color value. I replicated another artist through getting close up to the food, and showing as much detail as possible. This helped create a detailed look with the background showing a natural environment, where the food would be usually seen. Three things that I learned when taking the photographs was lighting is especially helpful to create the mood, not only to make the image lighter. Also, placement of the food can create an image that shows a much different feel when the angles differ consistently and adding objects to the background gives way to an image having a strong focal point, without being the only object in the image itself. Some careers that include food photography are food advertising, food inspectors, and food bloggers. Many businesses that want to emphasize the look of the food they are selling, use food photography. Such as restaurants, grocery stores, etc.... I think I was successful with the placement of the food. I think I put in a lot of effort to change the angles of the donuts in order to create multiple moods. I changed the lighting often in order to give different point of views of the donuts, as well as show how lighting can effect the way an object is shown.
