Additional Information

As stated above, the goal for this assignment was to take three portraits of a family member or a friend using photography concepts from class. The portraits must be composed of three various shots: full body, half body, and head shot.

Taking advantage of the autumn colors during the fall season in 2021, I opted for an outdoor photoshoot with my one of my sisters as my model.

I wanted bring out a warm and cozy atmosphere in the photos I captured. I took the photos using a DSLR camera, which added a challenge for me as I typically use my phone to capture photos in my day-to-day life. I also had to take into account the time and weather conditions at the time for the photoshoot to go through successfully.

The raw versions provided me a nice baseline so I could accentuate the autumn colors according to my vision in Adobe Lightroom.

The results are as shown below, with the color scheme on the right as a reference.
