Kate's Composite Class

My submission for Kate's composite assignment was part of my final folio submission for hanging in the exhibition.

My Kiwi bottle showed more layers used for my composite photograph.

Using the below RAW images i used basic Lightroom editing, which included exposure and contrast.

The following images were selected in Photoshop CS5, which has superior selecting abilities (quick select & refine edge).

Self evaluation

UN Botanical Gardens Comp

So i was pumped to take photos for the Botanical Gardens Competition, however what I wanted to shoot were the windmills in Bungendore. (similar to when i took those photos for Sylvia's assignment last year).

I could not borrow a longer lens from CIT as it was borrowed out, and when i went to go shoot, they were way too tiny, so i did a couple landscape shots instead. this is what i came up with. i hope they somehow fit into any of the categories for the competition.

Beauty/Hair

Ok.

So i have decided to go into something a little out of the box for me, usually i like to keep to photographing my little objects in the studio, which are nice and easy (usually!), and don't move, they do what they want you to do (sometimes they dont!). I have chosen photographing models focusing on Hair, and/or Makeup. Photographing models in this fashionista high quality scene is not my ideal comfort zone, however wanting to make a future for myself in the advertising commercial industry i am finding it more common that models feature in any sort of advertisement.

So... 4 shoots completed in only 1 week! WHATTTT!? who would have thought i had so much hair left compared to all that ive pulled out... (joking!), but this has been a stressful 2 weeks during the holidays preparing myself for these shoots. i will soon post some photographs which are "inspirations" for my folio. Although i do have to give much thanks to Tina for showing me that fashion photography is not just the clothes.

So... that being said, i think i will need to focus more on lighting techniques, as i don't want them all to have a uniform look in terms of lighting. Perhaps some on scene observing Lam and Tina will help me with more ideas.
