Classmate Video Project



I interviewed Katie Wood for my Classmate video project. It went well but neither one of us like to be in front of the camera.

Classmate Studio Shoot

I had a lot of fun doing this assignment. Its nice to get into the studio and make some pictures every once and a while. I do wish we had some newer power packs but the ones we are using work just fine. The studio has a wide selection of lights, diffusers, gels, light stands and backdrops.
Classmate portrait-Katie Wood is a wedding photographer who likes to take pictures with her Fisheye firm camera. For this shot I only used one light. I used a large soft box and a couple reflectors to get the soft lighting.
I have been working with Katie for a while now. We were assigned together for the classmate interview where we use video to interview a classmate and the final project as well.
We decided to shoot her in the wedding dress and holding the camera because she used to work for a wedding photographer.

Classmate portrait-Katie Wood is a wedding photographer who likes to take pictures with her fisheye film camera. This shot was composed using multiple lights. I used a soft box to light the face with a reflector on the opposite side. I used a hair light with a snood behind her and also help light the dark side of her face. Then I used two background lights to make it high key.
