MIxed Lighting


This photo is of mixed light of my friend Maddie. She was sitting at the top of the fence and the sky looked pretty, so did she, and by using the flash on the camera i took this picture making a certain type of studio lighting, mixed lighting. I did mixed lighting by using the regular outside sunlight with the flash light from the camera.

Painting With Light



This are two photos I took using painting with light. Even though we only needed one photo, I couldn't decide which one I liked better and decided to show you BOTH.

In the first one of Maddie, by using the flashlight, I shined it over her head in circles a couple times to make a halo and then shined light on her to show her face. By doing this I made Maddie an angel.

In the second one of Sara and Maddie, using the flashlight, I stood behind them in the middle and drew a heart as they posed in a very cute adorable way and then shined light all over both of them so you could see their pose. By this it made them look cute like good friends that love each other!

I loved painting with light because you can make any sort of pattern or writing using the flashlight and any pose. I really think this is a great way to learn different ways to photograph things/people. Enjoy!

Renaissance Photo

Marchesa of Mantua
Portrait of: Isabella d'Este
Artist: Titain
Date: 1534-1536

The Renaissance
The Renaissance was a cultural and scholarly movement which stressed the rediscovery and application of texts and thought from classical antiquity, occurring in Europe c. 1400 – c. 1600. The Renaissance can also refer to the period of European history spanning roughly the same dates. The Renaissance was a movement dedicated to the rediscovery and use of classical learning, that is to say knowledge and attitudes from the Ancient Greek and Roman eras.

Titain, The Artist
Tiziano Vecellio, Titian, was an Italian painter, the most important member of the 16th-century Venetian school. He was born in Pieve di Cadore, in the Republic of Venice. During his lifetime he was often called da Cadore, taken from the place of his birth.
The Painting
Isabella d'Este was shown as a young woman, Isabella was 62 by the time the work was painted. Titian had originally painted a more aged Isabella, but she was so displeased with the picture that she made him repaint it in an idealised form, so that she looked forty years younger.
