Panorama

This picture is a combination of four photos.

This second picture is a combination of two photos using the align photo function and playing with the opacities.  It didn't come out the way I wanted it to, with the set of wooden animals doubled, but I really liked the surreal feeling of this particular combination.

So these images were actually going to be for my narrative project. But I choose the female instead.

Ad recreation

While the point of the original advertisement is to sell the phone, I wound up focusing on trying to recreate the lighting of the shoe, since I thought it offered a more interesting challenge. I was never quite able to get the lighting the way I wanted it to be; I always wound up being able to get either the brighter outlining of the upper edges or the softer, dimmer, but still clear lighting along the lower parts, but never the right balance between the two. This was one of the closer approximations, although the lower-shoe lighting is harder to see in this small version of the photo.

I worked mostly with reflected light, but I only reflected each light source off of one surface. If I ever try to create a shot like this again, I think I'll play around with bouncing the already-reflected light off of a second surface -- maybe something like that would have given me the softer lighting I needed along the bottom of the shoe.

advertisement recreation

this is the advertising for some cosmetics, photographed by Man Chen, a Chinese fashion photographer.

i chose the one that imitate the light the best. other pictures i took have a clear sense that there are two light sources. I realize the original picture only has one major source.
