This was an interesting assignment with regard to my camera, because mine doesn’t have very versatile settings.  I had to do a lot of playing around with different settings, ideas, and photo subjects to achieve my goals.  I found it was much easier to set shutter speed and aperture size manually than to use AV mode.  Once I started to get a feel for how those settings worked, it became much easier–and funner–to capture proper images.

I used my wife as the subject for many of these photos.  Working with movement proved difficult with my camera since there is a bit of a delay when shooting.  I shot all of these on campus, then imported them into Photoshop, where I edited light levels, vibrance and saturation, color selection, and sharpness of each photos.  I also cropped several of the photos to improve the focal point.

I chose a Triadic color scheme for my photobook.  Since my photos had a fair amount of blue and yellow, I complemented those with a red background, then made my text white for increased legibility.  I worked to align my edges properly and create something that was visually appealing.  My objective was to showcase my photography and photo editing skills, as well as tell a bit about myself in the process.
