Equipment  


A simple but elegant depth of field portrait, I do like the simplicity and like the saying "less is more".
The product has been included to the advert and positioned to the bottom right, the composition really compliments the image as a whole. The models face has been nicely exposed.  






My work



 Studio with studio Lighting:


This object (bottle) was captured within the studio using studio lighting.
I used a snoot upon the background and a golden reflector to create this effect.
I did have problems highlighting the name however but solved this by using an extra light facing towards the reflector to light the area needed.
The finishing image did need more saturation which I edited on photoshop.
This image was shot using an Olympus E-420 and settings: 1/125, F14 and ISO 100


My commercial advert for the brand Dolce & Gabbana.
Two images were blended together using the program photoshop to get this effect.












Studio with Natural lighting:



This was created using natural lighting with an Olympus E-420, ISO 400, 1/125 and F8.
I used stick on butterfles to make the image look more interesting.
A silver reflector was applied to bounce more like into shot and to generate a nice hightlight onto bottle.



Again same settings as before using an Olympus E-420.
Reflector was needed to highlight certain areas.


This was produced on Adobe Photoshop.
They are two seperate pictures which I blended together, The bottle was cut from the image above and the mask was developed also in natural light and was cut from one of the images you will see on the contacts.




The objects were set up on a black backdrop but the lighting made the creases visable so I later used magic wand on Photoshop to edit the old background out and replaced it with solid colour.

Health and Safety






Safety at your Workstation/ Computer


*The user should take breaks when spending long periods of time at the computer.
*Seating should be adjustable to make the experience more comfortable eg: Height and Tilt.
*Footrests should be provided if requested.
*Seating must be stable, easy freedom of movement and attain comfortable working position.
*Sufficient space in front of keyboard to support wrists.
*The keyboard should be tiltable and seperate from the screen.
*Keyboard must have matt surface to avoid glare/reflection from screen.
*The image upon screen must be free from flicker, stable and clear.
*There must be adjustments on screen to change brightness and contract to reduce discomfort.
*Characters on keyboard should be well-defined and adequate size and spacing.
* Keep mouse at easy reach.
*Screens should be kept clean to reduce straining.
*Changing position regularly.







Safety in the Darkroom


*The darkroom has very little light to see, ALWAYS store bags and property in a place where it cannot cause a hazard, such as under a large bench or as recommended out of the Darkroom.
*Chemicals and Water away from work surfaces and Electrics.
*Do not touch Electrical Equipment with wet hands such as, enlargers, timers etc.
*Wear protective gloves to avoid prolonged contact with photographic chemicals, Use the printing tongs provided to take extra care.
*Always wipe up spillages right away from dry surfaces.
*Avoid putting fingers in your mouth or from rubbing eyes. If this accures seek medical attention right away and take chemical bottle with you.
*Cuts or grazes should be protected with a waterproof plaster and removed once finished in the darkroom because chemicals will still be on plaster.
*Do not carry chemicals around in printing trays, cause spillages and tripping.
*Always wash hands after you have finished.
*Make sure you keep the darkroom clean and ready for others to use.
*Do not take food and drink into the darkroom.
* Be careful not to mix water with the chemicals, This can sometimes be very harmful.



Safety in the Studio


* Ensure all Cables are tucked away from other peoples harm, taping things down to reduce risk of tripping.
* Check all light fittings and Cameras are secure on stands/tripods.
*Sufficient space for other people to move about the studio without
causing any hazards or collisions.
*Avoid Unecessary light Exposures eg: Strong flash light can cause damage to peoples eyes.
*While Putting Equipment away never lay anything on top of hot lamps, ALWAYS ensure lamps have cooled.
*Attachments should always be fitted Prior to turning on the lamps to reduce risk of burns, If you desire to change attachment during a shoot, always switch the lamp off and leave to cool before doing so.
* Equipment should be put away properly to reduce breakages and collisions.
* Lights on stands moved to the sides of studio against the wall to stop tripping and create more space for others.
*Do not over load electricity supply/circuit.


Safety on Location

* Check all Eqiupment is working prior to shoot.
* Be aware of your surroundings, property could get stolen.
* Ensure you Equipment is Insured.
* Weather conditions such as rain could cause breakages.
