Double Exposed Portraits

Portrait photography is a photo of a person, usually focused on their face, that shows expression and the mood of the photo. Portrait pictures are not always of people, or somebody's face. Portrait pictures can be of any object. Profile view is a photo of the side of a persons face, where you can't see both eyes. Silhouetting is where you can only see the outline and edges of the subject, and the rest of the picture is black, or one solid color.

Double exposure photos are a profile view of someone's face and head, and inside there are two more texture photos that symbolize you. They are used to include two photos that describe you, or represent something that you like to do. We make double exposed photos to provide two photos that explain you, or something you like to do. We make double exposed photos like this:

1. Take your amazing profile view portrait photo, and two texture photos that represent you.
2. Open photoshop< File< Load files into stack< Browse and select your three photos.
3. You will use the burn tool to brighten you back round until it's white.
4. Next, you'll crop your images to 8.5in by 11in.
5. Now, you'll click on each layer, and put the blend mode on screen.
6. For layer adjustments, you'll do the following: Layer< New Adjustment Layer, then select the adjustment layer you chose to use.

Here is how you Find the Layer effects.

HDR Phototgraphy

HDR photography is when you take numerous pictures of one shot, then blend them together. HDR is short for High Definition Range. The purpose in this is to make it have better lighting. I like that HDR photography balances the brightness, because sometimes when I take non-HDR pictures there is a super bright park, then a dark part.

To take an HDR picture, you take a set of pictures of one object or view. Between each picture, you adjust the exposure. You adjust the contrast by moving the dial on the lens back and forth. You do not move the camera between shots. If you do move the camera between shots, when you go to blend your set of photos, it will be blurry.

HDR has many different functions than regular photography. One of those is that you adjust the exposure after every picture you take. Another is that the pictures come out super bright, or super dark. After they come out, you would usually blend them all together in photo shop.

Here is a portrait style HDR picture. I had to make sure the model was completely still because when you take HDR pictures, you have to adjust the exposure. That means that the model has to stay still in a comfortable position. Also, I chose a back round where the building blocked the trees so that they wouldn't move as muck, because if there's movement in the pictures, it will turn out blurry or out of focus.

This is my HDR Landscape photo. I took it in the morning, because I knew there would be great lighting. I put my camera on a stool so that I didn't move I while adjust the exposure. Also, it was good time to take these because there was barely any wind, and wind would move the branches and trees.

This is my Super Impose photo.It is a blended photo of my HDR portrait, and my HDR Landscape photo. We do this because the portrait photo may not have the best back round, and to have an amazing photo, you can take your back round, center it, and trim it. Then you will have a great back round for your HDR portrait. We also chose a creative word that fits with the picture to describe it a bit.
