I called this photo “Waves”. I think I did okay editing this picture. I tried my best getting the same color of the sky from the original photo to the picture of the clouds. I picked these clouds because I thought they look cool and reminded me of the famous painting “The Great Wave Off Kanagawa”. I thought this would be different and unique to put instead of normal clouds. I turned up the saturation on the picture to give it more “life”. I also like how a bit of the clouds from the original photo are in and match with the clouds I added. It was a bit difficult to edit since I had to make sure the picture was stretched out. I think did alright but I know that I can do better.
INTRODUCTION TO USING STROBES
For photographers, videographers, and filmmakers to manage the quality and direction of light in a controlled environment, studio lighting equipment is crucial. Studio lighting’s main objective is to provide a subject with illumination that is both visually beautiful and useful. Studio lighting equipment comes in a variety of forms, each with its own special qualities and purposes. Continuous lighting, strobe lighting, and LED lighting are the three most used types of studio lighting.
Lights that are constantly on and offer a steady supply of light are referred to as continuous illumination. Because they let the photographer to see exactly how the illumination will appear in the final shot, these lights are excellent for still photography and filmmaking. On the other side, strobe lighting uses brief bursts of light to stop time and produce spectacular pictures. High-speed and fashion photography both frequently employ these lights. A more recent technology that produces brilliant, effective, and long-lasting light is LED lighting. They are becoming more and more common because of their low power requirements, adaptability, and affordability. Studio lighting equipment can be used in conjunction with various light modifiers, such as soft boxes, umbrellas, and reflectors, to achieve a variety of creative and professional results.
Gel lights
From the photography, I think the person posing a giving off a strong and fierce person. The makeup matching the color of red in the background helps prove that point. I think the photographer used a redish/pinkish, light to give off the color and around a 3.0. They probably used another light in front of her face to get the side light. The exposure on her face is low showing more of the light.

Conceptual self portrait
Exposure: 1/25 sec; f/1.6; ISO 800
Conceptual is relating to something or consisting of concepts. I would say that this picture conceptually shows something about me because of the very little details and the object but yet it tells a story. Snoopy, the stuff animal wearing the big headphones connected to the laptop listening to music with full volume. He’s huddle up in a sad position listening to a song that can be consider sorrowful. Some including myself may relate to this image because this is how some feel on certain days. Although I don’t feel like this all the time, its nice to have some quiet time and just listen to music without worrying.
Cindy Sherman is an amazing photographer and is known for her self portraits. Her work is very unique and has experimented with the visual of art, fame, gender, and photography to explore how identities are constructed. The reason I choose this picture is because of the detail. The soft ice on her face and the dirt places a huge role in this photograph. It almost looks like a painting which is one of the things I liked about.
