Studio Day with our Future Imagemakers.

“Working in the studio was really intriguing and a great experience. Using the meter to measure the lighting and seeing the effects of the change in f-stop gave me the capability to live a day in the life of a professional. Directing the models, even though they were just our classmates, made the fantasy of being Mario Testino feel close to real.”

Studio Day! Today we’re learning the basics of studio photography, including three-point strobe lighting for your subject and background, tethered capture, light metering, and light diffusion. Tristan, pictured in the first image above, even asked his dad to stop by to learn and have his photo taken.

All my life my definition of who I am has primarily come from what other people think of me. As the oldest of four, I embody mom-like qualities that seem to play into multiple aspects of my life. This is especially prevalent in my friend group, as they have mentioned that I'm the 'mom' of the group. From multiple places in my life I feel I'm being pulled for my attention/advice/etc. I then begin to define myself as some “ independent” relied upon by a bunch of “dependents”. The personality that emerges from this then begins to define me as 'Who I Am', which is seemingly just what I have to offer.

"Using the components of a photo essay (overview, portrait, action, detail), I aimed to capture the hectic lifestyle of my household. My household consists of my mother, two five year olds, two moody teenagers (including me)  and a pregnant woman (my oldest sister). It can get rather loud. However in the evenings when we are all tired out it gets nice and quiet enough to just hang out in the living room whether its to help out with the kids homework or help my mom with the chores or to just watch tv and relax.
