Photography

In photography aperture is used to is a hole that light travels through. The bigger/smaller the hole determines how much of the image it in focus. So the smaller the hole (bigger aperture number) the more in focus the whole image is, the bigger the hole (smaller the aperture number) the less focused the whole image is and more focused the person or thing is.

Shutter speed is the length of time light is exposed to the camera. The faster the shutter speed the more clear the image is, the slower the shutter speed the more blurred the image is.

Shutter speed:

Here are images I've taken showing the difference between a fast and slow shutter speed. The first two, we used fairy lights to show the movement captured by the slow shutter speed. On the other hand, the last two photos we upped the shutter speed and jumped to show that the faster the shutter speed the less movement is captured and the more still the image is.

Aperture:

On this photo I allowed a larger aperture to focus in on the leafs in the sun. The very front of the leaves is out of focus, as well as the window in the background.

I took a few photos in the style of fashion photography to gain a little insight of what it is like due to the fact I am still not very confident with using a camera.

With this image I used a lower aperture so it creates a balanced focus. I placed a soft box lighting to the left of my model and a warm yellow toned light on the right, I liked the way I placed the lights as it makes shadows on this face.

When I edited this image I turned down the brightness down a little and upped the contrast, after I adjusted the selective colour and moved up the yellow and black so the yellow light and shadows are more vibrant.

For this image I've made the aperture a little larger then the last image so it focuses on the model. I kept the soft box lighting where it was and moved the warm lighting more centered so the lighting brings out her skin colour.

When editing it was a similar process to the first image however the adjustments differ to match the image.

For this image I didnt centered the Soft box lighting
