Studio Photography Lab03

Lab03

This lab we were learning about using an external flash. I was immediately interested and excited to begin. There was so many different types, ones you can attach onto almost any camera, small and large along with self standing signal transmitted flashes to flash from different angles. There was also little accessories to add onto the flash which can give different effects. These were coloured guards that you could place over the flash giving a green and orange effect on your image. It opened my eyes to new possibilities for future images. Experimenting was a lot of fun and look forward to using it again.

Here I am attempting to capture a harsh shadow behind the subject. This can be seen mainly to the back of his head. it's not as dark and noticeable as I would like but it's sufficient.


 The next image I attempt to capture almost no shadow by bouncing the flash off the ceiling. This was a difficult one as the roof had a pattern in it which was affecting the image so I tilted it only slightly, having a small amount of shadow.

I was then introduced to the standing external flash. It stood at a 90 degree angle to my subject. I lowered the aperture and darkened the settings to capture the side of my subjects face. Slightly brighter than anticipated but this was my first time experimenting and I m happy with the results.


Later I added the green guard to the flash giving off this green effect which also let off less light leaning more to what I first envisioned. This was a really cool effect!

Proposal & Research My product that I will be photography and developing an advertisement for Orchard Thieves Cider. I was heavily inspired by the global Jameson Ginger and Lime campaign to promote Jameson Whiskey. I work as a barman and was instantly drawn to the advertisement when I first saw it. The drinks looks incredibly appealing when prepared properly. Below I have added one of their advertisement videos which blew me away. Jameson Ginger & Lime Advert Here are some examples of the many images used to promote the recipe. These are easily achievable and extremely effective.     With the use of photoshop, I could also create a poster like this below. Link to full campaign Absole voka also have some inspiring advertisements. I love the color they use to associate with the fruit flavour the vodka is. It's bright and noticeable.  Since cider is associated with Apples and natural ingredients. I plan to incorporate that into my image. I may

DAILY DOSE

Daily Dose Day 1 Third Week of College Semester Coming to the end of our third week in the first semester of our first year in Technological university Blanchardstown (TUDublin). Settling in just fine, meeting a lot of new exciting people that share similar future goals and mindset. The campus is bigger and better than I expected with modern facilities for students to use such as the Gym which I am extremely pleased with. Saving me 40 euro a month.    Currently in my first Lab of Introduction to Digital Media . We are completing tasks to set up our future blog where we will be updating our missions and work throughout the year and documenting our progress of our projects. We were greeted with MAC 's which I have very little experience in using but am excited to learn. The interface is not what I'm used to as I have been using windows for the last 12+ years but there are many similarities so picking it up shouldn't be a problem.
