Portrait Photographers
Andy Warhol was not only a photographer, but a world renown and sometimes a controversial artist. He is credited with discovering and inventing "popism". In portraiture, he likes to shoot straight on, generally having his subject as a repetitious element and vivid, dynamic colors with stark juxtaposition against one another.
Everything in this photograph is so detailed. I love how the lighting captures the shadows on the right side of her face. The yellow background with her eyes, and the red lips with her chest all compliment each other very nicely. They are stark yet not overwhelming colors.
My favorite thing about this photograph is the lighting. It creates such nice shadows and the hands holding the frame adds such depth and texture.
My favorite thing about this photograph is the composition. Most of Warhol's work is framed going from right to left, and I enjoy how this photo goes from top to bottom. This picture makes me curious about this guys story.
My favorite thing about this photo is the diversity he managed to capture without making it busy. I love how he took them all from the same angle, yet each photo is unique.
This is classic Andy Warhol. In looking through his pictures, he has so much of this style. All of the colors tie in together yet apart from each other clash. My favorite thing about this photo are the colors.

Intro To Light
Strobe lights are only used up to 250 seconds per second in the shutter speed. There are three kinds of light: fill light, back light, and key light. When you use a reflector outside, you are trying to capture natural light and replicate it onto the subject. Bulb is when you open the shutter until you close it, for any length of time. mostly used at night. This is especially beneficial with star trailing and light painting. When shooting portraiture, you want to make sure and shoot at good angles. Try not to shoot up from below a subject. Feathering is when you bounce the light off of something rather than having it directly on the subject.

Photography Terms
1. What do you like to photograph? Be as specific as possible.
I love to shoot city scape's, people, and trees.
2. What is the aperture? What does it affect (hint: it affects two things: Light and ______)
Aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels. It affects light and depth of field.
3. What is ISO?
Measures the sensitivity of the image sensor.
4. What is shutter speed? What does it affect?
How much light gets in the camera. Slower shutter speed=more light. Faster shutter speed=less light.
5. What is the exposure triad and how do they work together to control exposure?
Aperture, shutter speed, ISO
6. How do you control Depth of Field (DOF)?
Through the aperture. Lower aperture=high depth of field, higher aperture=low depth of field.
7. What is the difference between Shutter-Priority mode, Aperture-Priority mode, and Manual exposure mode?
8. What are tonal values? What are different ways to adjust them in Photoshop?
A light meter reading that tells you the exposure.
10. What are different kinds of light to use when shooting? Describe each (diffused, direct, existing, artificial, natural, fill, key, flash).
11. What is the basic image editing process (in Photoshop)?
12. What are different ways to make a selection in Photoshop?
13. Why is it important to use adjustment layers in Photoshop?
So then the whole document wont be compressed
14. What is an example of an ethical issue in Photography? For example, if photography is meant to be an accurate representation of reality, is it ethical to remove or edit out part of an image for a news story? Find a recent news story that shows is representative of an ethical issue in Photography. What is your opinion about it?
15. Why do you think Photography is important today? Be specific and thoughtful in your response.

Through the aperture. Lower aperture=high depth of field, higher aperture=low depth of field.
7. What is the difference between Shutter-Priority mode, Aperture-Priority mode, and Manual exposure mode?
Shutter priority: You set the shutter speed and the camera sets the aperture
Aperture priority, you set the aperture, camera sets the shutter.
Manual: You choose ALL settings
is the light or dark of a color independent of its chromaticity (hue and chroma).Three main tools as far as tonal values go: Brightness/Contrast, Levels, Curves
9. What is a histogram? (we'll be talking more about this soon)A light meter reading that tells you the exposure.
10. What are different kinds of light to use when shooting? Describe each (diffused, direct, existing, artificial, natural, fill, key, flash).

Architectural Location
Where? Hawthorne District, Downtown Portland Theaters (Crystal Ballroom, Hawthorne theater) Hawthorne Bridge, Fremont Bride, Max Stations/public transportation
Why? When you think of Portland, it is known for these things. These theaters, bridges, buses, are so interesting and look like he have so many stories.
What environment is there for you to shoot?
When? Late afternoon, evening/dusk
How will you capture it in a unique way? I will experiment with using a tri-pod and a very long shutter speed to capture movement of people, and take lots of pictures from many different angles to gather a more unique perspective.
What particular challenges do you envision? Being able to take cameras into the theaters, having enough time, and transportation.
