Double Exposed Portraits

Portrait photography, which is also called portraiture, is a photograph of a person or group of people that shows expression, emotion, personality, and mood of the subject. You could show the photograph is usually the person's face, although the entire body and the background or context may be included. Portrait photography is related to profile and silhouetting because in the processing in making a portraiture, you need to take a picture of a profile picture then go to and in photoshop, you would need to silhouette the outside.

To make a double exposure, you'll need to take one sidewards profile picture of yourself, then two other pictures that symbolize who you are. Then you import the photos and all that stuff, then open photoshop, go to files, scripts, then load files into stack. Then click browse and find the files you want to use. Then after you press ok, you can mess around with the controls and make something very creative! You would want to make one because double or multi exposure can make other people know who and what kind of person you are.

The first photo shown is a profile photo of me and if you can see the two things that symbolizes me is a basketball going into the hoop and a mountain. The basketball represents that I play sports such as basketball. The mountain represents that I am strong. I put a mountain because mountains cannot be moved right? Mountains are STRONG enough to stay in one place. My photo could of been better if I added a little bit more space in my head for the basketball and hoop. 

The second photo looks like there're a bunch of leaves and trees. Well they are. Mr. Sanderl said that we didn't really need to have a symbolic thing about us. Although, I could of make the yellow parts on my head, I could of erase the yellow part. The top is only yellow because I was in front of a green screen and when I used the dodge tool to make the background white, it made the background yellow. Well that's all. Goodbye.

HDR Photography

HDR photography is a type of picture that you have to take 7 photo of the same thing in different exposure that shows the horizon line, sky, and ground, also known as wide shot. HDR is used for making a boring old photo into a cool looking photo with a lot of details. I like and dislike HDR. Why? Because HDR is cool to make and the final picture is just awesome! I also don't like HDR. It takes to long and what if you move your camera? You'll have to do it all over again. And that's why I like and dislike HDR photography. HDR photography makes any boring photo into a creative, cool, very detailed photo.

There is 6 easy steps to make HDR photo. Step 1: Control the exposure to go to the lowest exposure and take at the most 7 pictures with different exposure. Step 2: Importing photos & organizing Once your done with the photos, Go to adobe photoshop. Step 3: Once your done with the photos, Go to adobe photoshop. Step 4: Automate < Merge to HDR Pro < Ok. Step 5: Make the photo as creative as you can with the tools to your right. Step 6: REPEAT!!! Just follow those easy steps to get a beautiful picture like these. This is not different from automatic HDR.

The first photo I was trying to make the horizon line straight with no cars but if you can see it there is a car behind the bushes because there is a highway right behind the bushes. I was thinking about adding that yellow whatchamacallit (I'm not sure if it's a pole). I tried adding rule of thirds horizontal and it turned out pretty good and I wanted to add foreground and like I just said, it turned out pretty good. The second photo turned out better then I actually thought because the rule of thirds wasn't correct because my little brother was placed right in the middle of the shot and in the left corner of the photo was bad because that is the most brightest spot on the photo and everybody's eyes goes right there. But I thought that I tried to do something different because someone else would place someone right there not doing anything. But I made my brother hold the baseball bat as if he was in a baseball stance. And with the scar on his face maybe that would relate a little more to what he's doing because what if he like got into a accident (in honesty, he did) doing a sport (baseball) he loves (he actually doesn't like baseball). Well that's it for now.

See ya later!
