The sunshine assignment was very enjoyable as I was able to play around with both natural and artificial lighting.
Silhouette: This photo was a challenge to take as the sun was not directly behind the subject and thus, we had to move around a lot to find a location where the sun would hit the model the most in order to get the silhouette effect. Because it would have been better if more of the body could be seen and the sun was not hitting it, to create a more interesting and clear image, I told my friend to raise her hand and create a peace sign so that at least the hand was hitting the sun. I did the best I could in the short amount of time I had before the sun went down.
Sun flare: This photo came out the way I wanted it to, with the sun flaring broadly and the subject angled towards the sun in a way where you can see the sun hitting the side of her hair. At first when I took the sun flare photo, it was just a photo of the sun and I felt as though it was too unoriginal and plain, so I decided to place my friend in the photo in order to create a mood in the photo.
Self Portrait: This assignment was a challenge as I kept changing the placement of the light. I am satisfied with the final shot as I was able to focus the light primarily on my face and the rest of the room was a bit darker. To create and emphasize a more vignette effect I edited the photo to make the sides of the room darker.
