Double Exposed Portraits

Portrait photography is a photo of a person or group that express there expression, personality, and their mood of the subject. A profile is an outline of a person face, usually one side of their faces. A silhouetting is an image of a person, animal, or an object that is usually black and the background is a color like white. A profile and silhouetting can relate to a portrait photography because we use only one side of the face like a profile and we are using the color white as the background just like a silhouette.

The first step making a double exposure in photoshop is too take photos and a profile of a person. Then the next step is too go to photoshop click on file, Scripts, then load file to stacks. After you are done with that you would chose the pictures you want. Next you would go to the dodge tool and start outlining the person. When your done with that you crop it to 8.5 - 11. Then you would take each layer and change them from normal to screen. Now you can click on layer on the top, new layer adjustments and you can explore on what you would want to do, for example you can do curves, contrast and exposure, etc. When your done with that you save to a jpg. I would want to make one because I thinks it a creative way to express yourself.

So for the practice double exposure my two pictures was a cement ground and the other one was a tree where the camera is place one the bark and its facing all the leaves and branches. For my multi one, the two pictures I use was Julie's bunny bc I love animals and a bunny is my second favorite animal and the other one was a text of the book that  I'm like reading right now. I think if symbolize me because I love reading and that a bunny is one of my favorite animals. I 
think the quality of my work could improve by probably taking a picture of a text from a book that can actually represent me. I also think that maybe I could have chose something that can also represent me that has colors because mine doesn't have that much color.

HDR Photography

HDR Photography means high-dynamic-range or HDR for short. HDR is use to make all of your photos that has a different exposure into one picture and blend it in. Something I like about is making them HDR on photoshop. I like how I get to make my own kind of photo. Something I dislike about it is that I hate how long it take us to take the photos. But overall I like the process of making an HDR photography.




The first step to creating and HDR photo is to take the photo. When taking the photo, on every photo you take you haft to change the exposure. So you would start on -3 and make your way up to +3, so that means you will have 7 photos. After you go have all your photos you will import them and then put them in photoshop. Then you put them in photoshop you would go file, automate, and merge to HDR. Then next you would chose your picture and let photoshop put them together. After your done with that you can custom it. It is different because you are doing more steps making the HDR photo in photoshop. 


The thought process behind the experiment photo is that i wanted to see her whole boys while she is on the ground also I wanted it to be an angle where the camera is on the ground and you can see the sky and her body. Also the thought process behind the landscape is that I wanted a landscape photo of where all the tress and bushes were in one photo and the sky peaking a little. Last but not least the thought process behind the superimpose is that I wanted her to be like on the ground and her looking up to the word imagine
