Photography

      I love photography as well. This semester we studied architectural photography and audio portraitures. Both assignments were fun but I liked the architectural one more, found you could be more creative being outside of a classroom or studio. I got to try different settings, effects, and angles.

ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY

     For our architectural assignment, we had 13 pictures to shoot overall, each showing different themes. I personally picked these pictures to share because I think it is one of the best that I took for this assignment. My pictures were taken with a Nikon at the Odessa creek. I picked the creek to do my photos because it's my favorite place in Odessa where you can go and just relax and enjoy your surroundings. After taking these pictures, I uploaded them using a card reader to the IMAC. Once on computer we could edited or enhance some of our top photos using Adobe Photoshop. On this photo I started out with cropping and sharpened it bait. I also used the tools auto colour, auto contrast, and auto level. Last final touch ups I increased contrast and highlights.



HEADSHOT

      My head shot I took is of Eve. For the head shots we got to use to studio. We used a Nikon camera hooked up to a flash unit with umbrella reflector. We had the flash at a 45 degree angle from the model, and a back light. We also used a fill suppressor to reflect the light off the background. Our head shots were to be creative but professional and still show our personality. We used cool angles, creative framing and cropping, and a sharp classy background.I used Adobe Photoshop again to sharpen it, do auto level and contrast, and increase contrast and highlights. Also had to erase background and add in a black layer to make the background black. I patiently and carefully erased in and around the model and her hair.

Artist Intro

      Hello, my name is Jessica Madore and I'm a grade twelve student at Holy Cross. I'm a enthusiastic communication technology and visual arts student. I'm eager to go to these classes everyday and do the work we're assigned. I've enjoyed visual arts for 4 years and com tech for 3. During my educational journey at Holy Cross, I have also taken part in SHSM and HCTV. These extra circular programs have helped me pressure my creative technology career. I've learned new things, techniques, and gained more experience. While at HC I have also taken yearbook, business, computer engineering and a co-op placement. For my co-op placement I was at CFRC Queen's Radio Station. I have really enjoyed my educational art & tech career at Holy Cross, and will miss it dearly. In the future I intend on taking an Arts Fundamental course and then pursuing in Computer Animation. I would really like to continue my study’s at Sheridan or Humber College, and hope one day to work for a movie studio such as Universal or Warner Brothers.
