Studio Portrait
The lighting in the last picture of Andrea Remeriz in black and white was taken on a black backdrop and with a single light on the upper right corner of area. The light allowed the left side of the models face to be exposed. The shadow created allowed the right side of her face to be less exposed.
The model is sitting on a stool. She is sitting straight up and I was focusing on getting the expression on her face rather than the body. Although I did include a good portion of her torso, with her looking straight into the camera.
The picture was taken in a vertical position. My point of view was straight on allowing me to be on the same level she was on. I was about four feet away from her, close enough to capture the expression on her face and not get any of the unexposed background.
The lighting was explained the way it was in the first section. The amount of light allowed the more “spokeyness” she was trying to create by not letting emotion show on her face. The seriousness of her expression helped get her point across.
The first photo and the last photo are very different. In the first photo there is must more light allowing the entire image exposed. Her is expression is still concealing because she has the book covering the majority of her face. There was less dramatic lighting and the mood is much more cheery.

Double Exposure
In this photograph of Ben, there is a unique use of repetition through double exposure. By overlaying a picture what was taken at a very slow shutter speed I was able to capture the movement of his hands on his face as well as him moving to “look at himself”. Using the rule of thirds allowed for the picture to be spaced out evenly leaving the white space in the background to be filled with the overlaying image. This photo has a sense of an uncanny ability. He’s almost ghost like.
self portrait
When taking these photos, I had my phone set on a timer. Each one I took involves an object or place that means a lot to me. First photo, with my car, the object that takes me everywhere and makes it possible to do what I do. The next two where taken in my room on a timer. They involve shallow depth of field as well as the aspect of my room in the background. Taken with dim lighting and would be at roughly a 400 ISO with the white balance of daytime cloudy.
