Interviews

I decided to interview a photographer from Micheal Schaffer photography for there business takes a lot of traditional portraits. Even if I am not focusing on traditional portraits, I want to compare what makes a traditional portrait and what makes a non-traditional portrait. Also this company has an advertising company which means they are good with photoshop. So this means my question will be photoshop related.
I will ask how do you keep pictures natural looking when there is so much altering going on?
or another one is When you take portrait pictures how do place your lighting to give for an even tone on the subject?

Research Semester 1

What is your topic?
My topic is photography, to narrow it down I want to focus on  non-traditional portrait photography.

Why did you choose this topic?
I choose this topic for I love photography and close up picture of peoples faces, but also with non-traditional portraits, cool lighting is used to bring out the flaws of peoples faces.  So when I see a picture like that, I feel like the photo can really speak for itself rather than having someone explain what it is.


What do you hope to accomplish after studying this topic all year?
I hope this year I can accomplish being a better photographer and create a portfolio for myself and giving myself a name in the photography world, even if I am barley known. Also with learning different lighting techniques, I hope I  can bring that into what I want to do as a living which is stage designing.

Summary of what you're doing:
I will be Jack Bolkas assistant and I will be  doing small task around his studio.

What's the most important thing you learned:
So far from the ROP class that I have taken from Jack, I have learned a lot of things that I apply to my photographs everyday like light, photoshop, how to use a camera. In his shop I am hoping to learn how to set up my own studio and to get the best portrait as possible.
