Valguse baasskeemid

Kuna olin see nädal haige ja ei saanud grupitööst osa võtta siis laenutasin saatjad ja välgu nädalavahetuseks koju, et ülessanne valmis teha. Välku ma saatjaga tööle ei saanudki (isegi peale akude laadimist) Plaan oli kasutada fotoka enda välku - see hajutada toas laiali. Sellelt saata käsk lisavälgule koos soft- boxiga. Plaanisin panna 45' langemisnurgaga 45' ristumisnurgaga hajutatud valguse modellile. Lootsin, et kahte valgusallikat kasutades ei teki nii suuri varjualasid.

Erinevad valguse muutujad

Kõik valgused olid meil sätitud 45' nurga alt. Nii üleval alla langemise nurk modellile, kui ka lisavalguse asetsemine põrandal, modelli suhtes. Mitte otse eest, ega täisnurkselt küljelt, vaid nende vahepealt. Kuna me ei kasutanud peegeldeid ja ruum oli pime siis tekitas see iga valguse puhul modellile tugevad varjud teisele näopoolele.  Lamp  Koonus toru koos kärjega  Väike box Suur box

Traces, signs, memories, lives

Pictures here tell a story about the loss of life. They affect all of us, often we forget about how short life is and what is important. I did not want to photograph people, just an event. Funerals took place in beautiful weather and there was no sad feeling, rather it was a happy ending. And all the fallen leaves helped me tell this story more beautifully. Here's one picture I wanted to put in, but it seemed too personal: But without the last picture, there are only 6 pictures - and we do not want that!  Who is my audience and how will I reach them? My audience for these pictures is, above all, my family, friends and relatives. For them I made a blog years ago when I moved away from Estonia, as there is often no time to meet, you can see how I'm doing. https://pikatoa.blogspot.com.ee/2017/10/koidula.html I think these pictures can speak to other people as well, but I'm not sure where to hold such an exhibition.

Making a Food Calendar for a Reval Café

Image
Reval Café has a unique cafeteria chain in Tallinn, which has 13 cafes. They were looking for a photographer who takes pictures of their next year's calendar. My job was to take pictures of Reval Café products and show how I can work with them. They wanted 12 pictures of their cakes and cookies. They talked about their ideas and showed pictures of what they think I should do. My trial work was to take a pictures of strawberry cake. I photographed the cake for three days, until the cake was almost melted. I tried different lights and different compositions. They liked one of my pictures and I got a deal. My second job was to get pictures of the cookies. They gave me a box of them and wanted something different. Not just cookies in the jar. So I went home and played around with them. I tried a variety of backgrounds, tablecloths, plates and cutting boards. Finally they chose the most boring and classical ones an...

Välk loomuliku valgusega portreefotos

 Loomulik valgus + välk = Täitevälk. Välk sai suunatud lakke, kust ta laiali peegeldas. Selline lahendus jättis kõige loomulikuma mulje. Loomulik valgus + välk, sai suunatud otse modellile Siin ma püüdsin saavutada tumedust modelli selja taha, sein oleks võinud olla kaugemal, et kontrasti suurendada.  F 10, 1/200 ISO 200 Välitingimustes sain parema tulemuse, sest taga puudus sein, kust valgus oleks tagasi peegeldanud.
