Location: SDSCPA

Models: vivianna, dia, justin
For this assignment, students ventured out to the back of the classroom to take shots practicing depth of field, using multiple people as well as props. I manipulated this shot in photoshop by changing the hues in the shot to black and white and increased the contrast so that the viewers eye immediately goes to justin's ultra white beanie. Although he is not looking directly into the lens, he is the most important part of the shot. Dia, wearing the nixon mask is looking directly at the camera but her face is masked by an alternate identity.  Vivianna is wearing a purple gypsy mask but she is just standing there, not attracting attention. We tried multiple times to get her to jump in the air, so that the shot would capture her looking at the lens and jumping in the air with her body twisted and her legs bent, completely exposed and not hidden by justin's body, like how she is currently.  For me, this shot doesnt really work but i feel that is wasnt a complete waste of time because i was able to  practice this technique as well as encourage everyone else to try the technique.
