assignment #4 high key/low key

this assignment was to shoot white on white and black on black. i really liked shooting this assignment. i thought i bracketed it pretty well when i was shooting it but then when i got to light room i had a lot of trouble. the blacks weren't too hard to get nice and dark and rich and i liked my blacks more than my white when i was printing but when i was shooting i liked my whites more. i think i liked my blacks more was because they weren't just point and shoot. they were a little bit more interesting. like the purse had alot of different texture. but then the whites like the egg whites and shells and then the whip cream are cool textures but its just one so its not as intersting. another reason why the whites are hard is because they are so hard to print. i definetaly didn't bracket enough and even when i was developing the picture onmy screen it would look white but when i printed it was really grey so it took a while to make that look good.

this is one of my favorite pictures by irving penn he is really inspiring and creative.

irving penn painted and drew and he was a photographer
. he took post world war II feminine chic and glamour pictures.he shot for vogue. he liked to carefully arange objects or people that was his unique style. his photographes were ahead of his time. he died two days ago :(

this assignment was to try and get the best exposure. it was kind of tedious but it is worth it. this assignment was to teach us how to find the perfect exposure by using a really high aperature and then a really low one and taking pictures inbetween. it helps alot so then you don't have to develope the picture in lightroom. because some time if you have a really bad exposure you can't fix it in lightroom. this assignment helped my learn how to bracket and the importance of it but when i shot this i didn't understand that so i didn't really bracket wide enough, but now i know
