week reflection

 This week we have been through a lot but mainly focusing on lighting modifiers and going through the different ways we can use them. We looked at softboxes and looked at how we can beatify the model. We looked at how a snoot narrows down the light but usually has hard edges. So we looked at how by using a honeycomb can soften the edges of the light so it won’t look so harsh on the model. We also went through dodging and burning on Photoshop. And looking how we could improve the look of an image by using the heal tool. We looked at editing our images in camera raw before using Photoshop because it’s easier and quicker to do the basics. We were told not to turn the exposure, vibrancy, contrast, etc. up to high as it could make the image look unrealistic. We looked at model release in more detail and were told to start using them within our photoshoots. We should always get one so that our models cannot sue us for using them images for certain purposes. We also talked about university or going on to employment, I am still in a position where I can’t decide what I want to. I want to go university if that’s what’s going help get the job I want which is working for redbull shooting extreme sports. But I feel like I could make it without going to university. We also looked at the terrism act and ahout how we cant take photos of the police for legal reasons.
