The video that I watched was Illustrative Design, presented by Von Glotschka. The lesson explained that a photographer should not overthink that is being done with the photo- follow instinct and what feels right. The video mainly focuses the shots on the man's hands as he works while he talks the audience through his process. The planning that he had described would be beneficial to me in the future when I take photos.

Ben Long, an educator, photographer, and writer, teaches how to work with and understand White Balance.He begins by explaining what white balance is and how it works in photographs- it helps the lighting for the subject of the picture. This would be useful in understand how to dress the subject for certain lighting and how to adjust my camera in order to make the subject the best lit.

The person who is teaching about how to Fix A Distracting Background is Chris Orwig. He uses Photoshop to make the main subject of the photo come out to the front more so that the background is less noticeable. The way that he does this is by cutting out the subject of the picture and then adding enough blue to ensure that the subject is all that is observed by the viewer. This would be useful in my own photos because often I take photos of random things quickly without making sure that everything is perfect. Afterwords, when I look back at the pictures that I have taken, there will be something that distracts from the what I was trying to focus on. Learning how to fix this problem, there is now one less thing to have to obsess over when taking a picture "in the moment."

Fashion Shoot Setup

For the fashion shoot, I will use a few different friends and dress them up differently. First, I will use generic clothing that i\can be found in any closet, then I will go more artistic and use drastic clothing to show off the model. I will pose each picture differently so that I can find the most flattering way to pose for the model. Along with the pose, there will be changing light and angle to maximize the beauty of the model I am showcasing.
