ADP2 - Assign 4 - Composite
I chose to do a double exposure effect with a combination of portrait images blended with building images. In order to achieve this, the portrait images were done in studio. The building images were of
the windows at Palais de Congres and the Bank of Montreal building in Old Montreal.
The first layer is the portrait image, using a hue/saturation blend mode I turned the portrait into a B&W image. I then created a new empty layer and added colour in multiply blend mode. The portrait images were dark so I added a brightness/contrast blend to lighten them up. Next I added the building layer in an overlay or soft light blend mode (don’t remember which one) and reduced the opacity. Again I found the images a bit dark and added another brightness/contrast blend.
My intention was to give these portraits the look of a tribal face. I also like that the patterns changed look of their clothes as if they were wearing checkered shirts. For image one I chose a softer blue colour and geometric pattern to give it a more yin, softer look. For image two I chose a reddish tone and more busy looking pattern to give it a more aggressive yang look almost like a tattooed face. The pattern was extended to his ear because when I masked it out it just didn’t look right.
I imagine these portraits could fall in the category of fine art.

Decisive Moment
APD2-Assign 3
Images 1 & 2
My friends and I started a ritual a few years ago, we head out to Smoke Meat Pete’s for our dose of smokemeat and The Blues on Good Friday (yes I know, we’re bad Christians)! That night a group called The Fuel Junkie Band blew us away with their amazing performance. We could tell by their expressions and interactions with each other that they really enjoy what they do. The photoshoot had a few challenges, the place was packed, people were moving around and servers trying to squeeze between tables. Tripod was out of the question and getting a super composed shot almost impossible. Nevertheless, I managed to get some shots showing their joy and passion.

I wanted to take some photos at a metro station. I always drive and seldom take the metro so I decided to do some research. I discovered that the Champ de Mars metro’s stained glass panels were designed by Quebec artist Marcelle Ferron. This work of art entitled, “les formes qui dansent” are mutlicolored stained glass panels angled in a way that when they catch the sun they produce splashes of colour througout the kiosk as well as on to the platforms. The story behind this work of art is quite interesting as the windows represent an artistic war story between Marcelle Ferron and various politicians she had to deal with at the time of this project.

Image 4
This image was taken outside the Victoria Square Metro. I was looking for something, not sure what. When I saw this couple hoIding hands walking towards the metro, I felt their tenderness and intimacy.
In summary...
Problems encountered: Tripods are not welcome in public or government spaces. People are not fond of being caught on camera without their consent. What I’ve learned is that waiting for that decisive moment without looking like a weirdo is not as easy as it seems. It takes a certain amount of boldness and devil may care attitide. I’ve also learned you can’t force creativity and taking random shots of strangers can sometimes be interesting and other times unpleasant. When using a tripod in certain public or government spaces you will certainly encounter resistance and special permits are required in advance of shoot. The weather was gray and chilly, hanging around waiting for that decisive moment was not ideal, this time of the year there isn’t much happening either. Perhaps street photography will be more enticing once the weather warms up.

Digital World
APD2-Assign2
The Concept...
After much deliberation and several attempts at various mood boards I decided to combine 2 themes, Digital World and Chromatic. My intention was to create 2 impactful images depicting a person addicted and prisoner to his digital devices. I wanted the images to look gritty and hardcore like a junkie shooting up in a dark alley or stuck in an old warehouse alone in the dark with his vices.
The photo shoot was simple, with few props. I chose to shoot in the evening for that darkness element, I used ambient light only. The post processing was totally done in Lightroom. I chose to desaturate the images then apply a split tone process and increased the clarity to give them that grimy look.
Model: Kevin Gatineau Props: Laptop, cell phone, cord Post Processing completely done in Lightroom

VIRGINIA VENTURA - 03.JPG ISO: 1600 LENS: 50mm F/STOP: 2.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/80
It was still snowing, I wanted to capture the beauty and softness of the fallen snow on this pretty gazebo and the picnic tables within. It was dark outside, a high ISO of 1600 and shallow DOF of 2.0 was needed to keep the viewer’s eye on this vignette. I decided to keep the shutter speed at 1/80 allowing for enough light and reduced camera shake.

VIRGINIA VENTURA - 02.jpg ISO: 400 LENS: 50mm F/STOP: 2.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/80
These amazing brass pipes caught my eye but in order to photograph them I hang to bend backwards over a railing to get an interesting shot. F2.0 shallow depth of field makes the viewer’s eye go straight to those pipes, 1/80 shutter speed to reduce camera shake.

VIRGINIA VENTURA - 01.jpg ISO: 800 LENS: 50mm F/STOP: 2.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/125
The room was dimly lit, I chose ISO 800, I should’ve used 1600 but didn’t want to deal with the extra noise. Post processing helped to lighten the image. This shot was taken hand held, lying on my belly for a low point of view, shutter speed of 1/125 in order to reduce camera shake. F2.0 for a shallow depth of field to reduce a busy background and keep the viewer’s eye on the frame within a frame.
