Project #11 - Prework

For this project pre-work, I took a photo of my english teacher. Then I edited the photo in photoshop and lightroom and made it into a magazine cover.

Project #10 - Portrait Photography

Fine Art Photos:

I took this photo with a portrait lens and from a lower angle. Then I edited it with Lightroom. This is fine art because I'm trying to capture her being happy.

I also took this photo with a portrait lens and edited it in Lightroom. I'm also trying to capture her happiness in this photo.

Commercial Photos:

I took this photo with a portrait lens and gave my dog lots of treats so he would stay still. Then I edited it in Lightroom. In this photo I'm trying to sell dog treats.

I took this photo with my phone camera and had Mr. Gutlerner hold the Great Gatsby and his coffee. Then I edited it in Lightroom. This is a commercial photo because I'm advertising the Lincoln staff.

Fine Art vs. Commercial Portraits

Annie Leibovitz

Mark Seliger

The first photo has different lighting and composition. The second photo wants you to read more about Jennifer Lawrence. She's also in different poses. 

Commercial Portraits

A commercial portrait wants us to do something like buy a product or read more about the subject.

Mario Testino

This cover wants you to read more about Cara Delevingne. 

James Fickling

This photo wants you to buy clothing.

Fine Art Portraits

A fine art portrait tells a story using mood, emotion, and/or composition.

Annie Leibovitz

I like that this picture shows the subject doing something instead of just looking at the camera.

Eric Garcia March

I like that in this picture you know that the subject is angry and you can feel that.

Project #9 - Surrealism and Photomontage

In this photo I wanted to make it so that the viewer felt small.

In this photo I was trying to make this person have like a hurricane of debris around them.
