Light, Shadow, Reflection

Silhouette:



















I took this photo down on the waterfront in downtown Portland. My friend, Emily, posed for me on a fountain. In order to get her dark, I made sure that the sun was directly behind her and then in Lightroom I increased the contrast. I like this silhouette because of the shape that Emily is making.


Back Lighting:




    This photo of Jade was also taken down on the waterfront. I took it from the same position that I was in for Emily's photo, but I changed the settings to manual and the sky turned white, making Jade pop out. I really enjoy this photo because it's fun and shows Jade's personality.

    Reflection: 

    This is a reflection of a building in a puddle downtown. I like this photo because you can't really tell what is in the puddle until you look harder. It's also somewhat hard to figure out that it is a puddle.

    Shadow:

    I took this at my house, standing in the doorway. The sun was coming through the open door and it hit my door to the downstairs. I liked the lighting and color that it made on my door, so I put my hand up. The shadow became the subject and the faded branches behind it made a texture on the door.
