Model Face shots

A number of face shots with the same model. Some with a white board to reflect light, some without.



Body Structure





Same model - two pictures.

Very thin body structure. When she had her head lifted it really emphasized her structure. However by asking her to lower her head her picture becomes more emotional because of the angles off her chin.






Studio Work

Studio Work with Models. Took pictures of the this model from various angles, creating a bit of a story.

A stressful moment when I thought the hotshoe on my camera wasn't going to work with the studio lighting. Luckily I was wrong.

You can see the different shades of colour for the same skin on the same person. Lighting really seems to affect the colour and mood of the image.




For this photo, we needed a white board to reflect light back onto the face off the flash. Otherwise the side of the face became washed out.


Final Image: The subject is created.

Aperture Values

By closing up the aperture. You change the way the picture is viewed. The first one shows the full scene, a well built overpass over a nice creek in an obviously western forest. The second one shows a fence that is well beyond it's years of service and adds something to the age of the forest.

Wide Aperture: F14.0Narrow Aperture: F2.8

White Balance Assignment

Assignment: to use the pre-set white balance settings in the camera to affect the picture.

This photo has the appearance of being a taken in a moonlit, dark, foreboding creek.

In actuality, It's a sunny creek that seems to be inhabited by a infestation of sphagnum.

Shutter Speeds


Late sun, grabbed this picture in Tynehead Park.

Iso 1600 (had to crank it in the low light)
F 3.5
1/40th of a second.





Same spot, lengthened the exposure. Sure makes the water look more active.

F6.3
