This picture isn't even a clear picture at all, anyways this is a picture of me and Taylor watching the fireworks at the Sydney Harbour Bridge in .. Sydney Australia. I put at least 10 layers of acrylic gel medium, if not 10 i swear to god like 45. The reason of choosing this picture is because its so natural and almost sums up our bond between me and Taylor.

Hey, thats my friend

In all these photos of my friends, I only used 2 lights! But for the one on the right, the light was back farther than the other one but thats for the first 2. The last one of me and Andie is with the same situation except the right light is closer as you can see on Andies face.

Breaking The Rules

These pictures of Sheriff and Adam really do represent "breaking the rules" while acting natural. The first photo shows Adam and Sheriff having a conversation about one drunk night or something. But then all of a sudden some bike decided to show up and ruin the picture and making it look uneven, even though it kinda looks cool because its the first thing you see and it catches your eye. The second picture is of Sheriff smiling... but i didn't get his true emotions of his eyes which SUCKS, ALSO the bike went for round 2 in this photo bombing session. But what i really, really do enjoy about this picture is the colours  in this picture. The brown against the blue and then the green grass bring contrast in this picture. The last one is again of Sheriff because he's just really really good looking. This photo is Sheriff opening his locker down the art hallway. I feel like it uneven because I took this picture on an angle and not straight down the hallway, also its kinda blurry where Sheriff is. But I love this cause its so natural and I always see Sheriff by his locker... its just so Sheriff. I just had to take this picture before the bike came in too.

Painting with Light

Painting with light was actually way more exciting than I thought it would be. For this assignment I used a Nikon D3100 (shutter speed 25, aperture 22). So i decide to base it on something that I love. One thing that I am obsessed with is going on planes and flying, but theres nothing more amazing than going on a plane to Australia. I usually go every 1 or 2 years and it never gets old and boring going on a 14 hour flight there. 

Studio Lighting

Due to Brooke's outstanding variety of faces she managed to make in all the pictures I took of her, it was hard to choose the most.... appealing, appropriate and safe for the public to witness. For the first two pictures, I only used 2 lights because the colour of the wall is a very light and matte colour I didn't want to make it so bright by using 3 lights. And for the last one, I also used 2 lights however i moved the one on my left a little bit closer to Brooke to really bring out her hair and due to her hair covering a bit of her face  it gave her a darker tone to the side of her face but not to dark for it not gradually blend into her natural skin tone 

All in all, I believe that I was able to take such silly pictures of Brooke but she's still able to keep that cute and gorgeous face through out the while photo shoot.
