[Fashion Photography Assignment]
























This was probably the most satisfied I've been 
with the outcome of an assignment. It was totally
fun and I acquired some experience with both, the strobe
light:), and more of Photshop. I love that I was able 
to use a good friend of mine[who happens to be a dancer] 
as a model for this particular shoot. It was easier to 
work with him than it most-likely would have been 
to work with any one else. I really wanted to show off
the wrinkles in the sweater, the fitness of the jeans and
the clothes overall. I think the stripes of the sweater
make the picture more interesting and the light spots, 
grainy effect[adding texture], and pose of the model adds 
to the complete ambience of the photo.

[Playing With Photoshop]


















In this assignment, I learned a lot more about Photoshop
while expressing myself and who I am through a picture.
In this assignment, we were required to add our favorite
number, a letter of our name, 2 layers, and the watercolor
filter. I decided to go against the norm and actually use 
my very own hands to show the number 3. The water
color effect gave my picture a more dream-like feel, which 
entirely describes the way I think of myself and
see the outside world, and im also an Aquarius. 
I decided to go with a bright letter, the first letter 
of my name, that matches the highlight of my face. 
In this decision, i thought it best to stick with 
Times New Roman font for striking simplicity, and 
I also used at least two layers. In this picture, 
I'm not looking directly into the camera, purposely. 
Its because I'm usually somewhere in my own world 
dreaming into the future; setting goals and imagining things..
