in-Ψde-out

I used more grey in this photo. leaving the tiger eyes blue takes away from the grey and places more of a seperation of the greys ans blacks. It was hader to darker my blacks this time so i went as far I counld without taking the attetion from the Tiger. This shot was done at a high angle.I might like this photo the most because it shows the different level of greys.

This is a photo with the feet raised at an angle. Just one of those things they do to show respect for all college and university bands.There was a lot of white in this photo but I over used the contrast to keep the foucus on the first two shoes.

This shot was done of course outside and it was a moing shot.Everything is blured and in black in white so push the subjects/models fowad. There might be a few signs that shows i might have edit different sections. It was weather related and i liked the photo so i kept. The shadows on the back are there to sperate the black on black. In front of the line is a difficult spot to fix. I didn't know what tool to use to fix it. Because of the front being bent up and rough looking this is my weakest. It may be a small error but it's annoying.

This shot was to caputure emotion at it best. Straight Black ad White. I  turned the blacks up and changed the background to white.
Up close shot that is kind of creepy. There where a few problems getting this close to the way I wanted it. Overall i think it is decent. Eventhough there's a model in  the front. The model in the back changes the focus. There are three diferent stoies going on in tis oone shot which does not includes the ficure behind the front model. Put there to make the viewer think.

My Artist Statement

My goal in photography is to become more than a picture taker. I often post photos that are angle to get the viewer to look. To look around often leads a person eyes else where before getting to the focus. Knowing what the focus is a slight boring but to determine what the focus is much more exciting.  Dark is beautiful and as you will see in my photographs the contrast is usually turned up.
In my final I decided to go Black and White. This series is called Brotherly Love. I remember my process of becoming a Brother of my wonderful Fraternity. This series is to capture catch different aspects of the future Brothers.

Series of Eight

This is the best out of the group. I went back and fixed a few things that was pointed out in class. This is also my three point lighting picture.


This photo started very dark and gray and I enhanced the colors. I wanted to blur some of it for better DOF but it wouldn't go my way.

This was shot in the dark do to camera shake this is what I ended up with. I like this because the laptop is still end focus even though the screen shifted.

Used something similar to  a soft box to get the warm feel of the photo. I dodged the ear set to give it that neon look. I think this is a decent photo.

He was feeling the music but the shot was the best to zoom in on. This may be the weakest photo I chose.

Motion photo.  The head set is her hand from when it feel out. There was a lot of green in this photo that took a while to get rid of. Best part of this picture is her dreads highlights and shadows.

This is another motion photo before her head set fell off. I darked the blue. This started as a complete grey scale picture.

The concept of this phot is my favorite because it really catches her having fun. I brought out the black in the headset. The coposition of this photo is great. Her hands brings the focus onto the darkest part of the photo. Really good person to work with.




Sorry for being late got back in town later than expected. I hope you enjoy what I have caputred.

The Artist View

There’s no question, however, that Huang’s forte is the human element.  “I think the reason why I love fashion photography precisely because fashion is not realistic,” he says.  “Fashion is about creating an illusion and fantasy, but very much built around the human factor.  That’s why I think I find interaction with models the most fulfilling, because I tell them a story and they react to that.  I look at models as beautiful creatures,” he adds, laughing:  “They aren’t really human, you know.”

In the end, it’s the magic of the single image that moves Huang.  “Only the photographer really knows what he or she wants out of every image,” he muses.  “It’s like you’re a movie director, but for one frame only -- and there’s a tale to tell behind every still frame.”  He pauses for a moment.  “I fell in love with the whole photographic process a long time ago,” he says, “and I just kept on shooting.” -
