Week 3 Forum

TOPIC 1: TWO PORTRAIT SUBJECTS --  

1. Justen Noll
2. Justen has made over 50 short films and has been accepted into multiple film festivals. Filmmaking is a passion of his and he was even hired by LBCC to shoot a virtual tour of the school.
3. The best environment in which to shoot Justen would be on the set of a project he is working on.
4. I would say the best props for this type of shoot would be Justen's director hat and his camera.
5. I will either call, text, Facebook message, or email Justen to complete this project.

1. Cameron Passmore
2. Cameron started in his late 20's working towards a law degree after serving time in the Air Force. He is now a lawyer, doing lawyer type things.
3. The best environment in which to shoot Cameron would probably be in his office while sorting out a case.
4. I would say the best props for this type of shoot would be Cameron's desk, chair, and a bunch of files..
5. I would most likely email Cameron to complete this project.

TOPIC 2: SELF-CRITIQUE --  

1. I think my best photo so far is my medium two shot of the Sirens practice. While the focus could have been better, I like the framing and the lighting, as well as how the subjects portray a sort of joy while working together.
2. I feel my photo of William Wiltse was the worst so far. It was in clear focus, but the lighting was horrible (high noon), and the subject was squinting because of the sun. The time of day I chose to shoot this picture was bad timing and location on my part.
3. I really need to double check my focus, and shoot in a more controlled manner, or at least figure out ways to compensate for bad situations and make the best out of what I can get.
