I never thought I would have enjoyed this project as much as I did, but I really did. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed shooting portraits. For this project, we had to shoot 2 different shots, a window light photo and a studio portrait. We had groups of 3 and we had to try to take the best portrait we could. For my pictures, I used a classmate of mine named Aidan as the subject. Here is how it came out. The image on the left is the studio portrait, which came out very well. I had to make 0 adjustments to the image, even cropping. How the image is there is how I took it. I really like that one. The one on the right was the window light shot, which I personally think is outstanding, besides for the slight focusing issue. I think the vibe it gives off is really great and I think the background adds a bit to the image.
I did have to make edits to the window light image, as there were issues with it. These edits were done through camera raw and had these adjustments: WB changed to +9/+8, exposure lowered to -.65, contrast changed to +3, highlights lowered to -33, shadows lowered to -12, whites lowered to -27, and blacks were lowered to -36. I thought they made the image look far better and improve overall quality of my photographs. This project was definitely in my top 3 of projects so far and I hope to be able to shoot more portraits in the future, as I really enjoyed taking them. I may do portraits as the theme of my next shooting assignment due to this. I look forward to the next photoshop assignments we have coming up and how I can improve my ability to use this program, but also my ability to take images overall.
