Photography by Lisa J. Brice: SIAST projects; freeze motion with light, Creative Composition,Tonal Harmony, Elements of Design, Portrait photography

This was a photography assignment in my flash Photography class at Siast. If was a fun project but very time consuming. I took a hand fun of two toned gems and dropped them into water as I simultaneously pushed the camera on to capture these stunning photos of splashes.

Creative Composition

Creative Composition has six elements and they are: unusual camera angle, rule of thirds, frame within a frame, perspective, balance and symmetry and dynamic line. Some of these elements I found difficult to shot but I think over all I learn something about each element.

Unusual Camera Angle/ rule of thirds

This element of creative composition I found the easiest. Just by turning the camera at different angles and taking pictures at a different perspective you can create creativity. The Rule of Thirds for this exercise I had to put my main object in the third of the picture. This was very hard to do because I had to train my eye to see the picture in thirds rather then in the middle of the frame.

Unusual Camera Angel

Rule of thirds

Frame within a frame/Dynamic Line
This was an interesting topic because I had to place my main subject within a frame. Another example of this is someone within a door frame or a building within a treed area. Dynamic Line we were to find "S" curves or things with diagonal line. Downtown Regina had a lot of dynamic lines.

Frame within a Frame Dynamic line

Perspective
Perspective gives the feeling of depth or that the road or railroad tracks keep going beyond the photo.

Tonal Harmony

There are six elements in tonal harmony they are: high key, low key, warm tone, cool tone, color is the subject and muted color. All of these elements have one thing in common and that is color. I found this to be a fun topic to explore.

High Key

High key is pretty much white on white, very light and bright. I used my wedding dress to demonstrate this element. This element you would see in a comedy or romantic movie where the setting needs to be lighter.

Low Key

Low key is black on black and capturing only a small amount of light onto your subject. These colors would be something you would see in a gangster movie with the feeling very dark.

Warm tone

To have tonal harmony with warm tones you need yellow, orange, red which are all on one side of the color wheel. The gold is considered warm and the chocolate makes you feel warm. I like this photo because it has tonal harmony, repetition, the rule of thirds and cropping.

Muted color

Muted color are pastel and not bright colors. I like the look I see in this photo of straws.

Color is the subject

If you were to Google color is the subject you would see pictures with lots of color. That is not the case with this subject, in order to have tonal harmony the picture needs to have only one color. In this picture I choose a red flower with a red liquid and used a shallow depth of field.

Elements of Design

Elements of design includes six topics they include: line, color, texture, pattern, repetition, and cropping. I had gone to Phoenix during this assignment and captured some of the elements in that location.

Pattern and Cropping

Pattern is your subject have design within it and once you photograph it your realize the wow factor within that subject. Cropping means getting in close with out losing the detail of the picture you are taking. This picture also has dynamic line with a "S" curve.

Pattern

Cropping

Line and texture

Line is just that anything that shows line in the photography and again it can be anything from trees, people, buildings etc.. Texture represents something you want to reach out and touch.

Line

Texture

Repetition and Color,

Repetition says it all something that repeats. It could be anything, trees, chairs, people, flowers anything that the photographer may find interesting as well as catches attention to the interested viewer. Color, photograph things that are colorful. I choose pencil crayons because are so many different colors to chose from in the box. What was explained to me by my instructor was try to include as many elements in your photographs as you can to make the photograph even more interesting.

Portrait Photography SIAST ASSIGNMENTS IN CLASS 7-8

Pregnant Couple:

This photo was taking during a photography class photo-shoot at Siast Regina. This couple was great in cooperating with the group of students.

A Family of three:

These shots are taken using low key photography.

These shots were taken during a photo shoot at a photography class in 2013 at Siast in Regina, Sask. These three were great to work with, they were pretty much willing to do any pose we the students put them through.

A young lady:

This was taken once again at Siast during my photography class 7-8 which was portrait photography. This was a student of the class whom wanted her picture taken and came ready. She did a great job posing for us and came prepared for a couple different outfits.

A young hockey player:

These portraits were taken using high key photography (bright light and white one white)

This young lady loved getting her portrait taken and loved every minute of her photo shoot during my photography class at Siast 2013 with Lori Maxim.

A child:

This young boy just played while I took his photography at Siast Photography class and was not shy of the camera at all. Again, we were using high key lighting and I do believe I love high better for kids then low key.

A young lady:

This lady came back another night to have her picture taken but only self-portraits. Again, we did high key with her and she seemed to shine during this photo shoot.

A family of five:

A family of five with three children in their 20's. This family was fun to work with they were having just as much fun as we were. These photos were done using low key at a Siast photography class in Regina, Sask.
