HDR

This style of photography is called HDR. To get me started, I had to use a tripod in order for me to make sure that my frames would be the exact same in every shot. I decided to pick a flower and place it in the trash can holder so the wind wouldn’t move the flower. I felt that the trash can holder would create an interesting dynamic and a great contrast with the flower. To create the HDR effect, I took a picture of my flower on every bar throughout the exposure scale, starting at 0. (for example, if you shoot at +1, you have to also shoot -1 and so on).In Photoshop, I merged the selected photos using the "Merge to HDR Pro" tool. This aligned all of my frames together and allowed me to enhance the exposure and adjust the shadows and highlights to make my picture "pop" more.

Multiplicity Project.

The style of this photograph is called "multiplicity". Creating the final product is not an easy task. To get started, my model and I chose an area to shoot at with a clean background. To make this project work properly, I had to use a tripod to stablize the camera so the background around my model Bianca would stay the same when editing. I adjusted my settings first so i could get a well balanced shot. As I stayed in the same place during the shooting, Bianca moved to different spots accross the frame, as shown. When done with the shots, I used Photoshop as my editing user. I blended the images together to create the impression of her being in several spots at the same time.
