When we went to the duck pond to take portraits, I learned that in the shade, the reflector is really helpful with getting the perfect lighting you need, but when standing in the sun, the natural sunlight could be perfect lighting. I used the first column on the shot list because they seemed like nice easy poses that could turn out really well with the right lighting. I had the other girl in my group hold up the reflector at an angle so I could get that perfect glow on my models face, I think it was very useful when I had her pose in the shade under the trees. I retouched my models face to get rid of small blemishes to smooth out her skin to compliment the photo. Some job positions that require portrait photography are businesses who may be advertising clothing, makeup, or jewelry. Places who hire them could be for example, Hollister for clothing, or Maybelline for makeup. Their average salary is about $32,000 a year. Beginners may only charge $300-$500, but top destination pros could charge a lot higher like $10,000 to get started.

For my food photography project I brought my favorite food.......sushi! I brought a plate from my house along with some chopsticks. I definitely learned that to take a successful photo, you need good lighting to really bring out those amazing aspects that you're trying to capture. And that you also need a perfect set up for your photo so you can style it just the way you want. To make mine similar to a photo I found on the internet, I lines up the sushi and had they lay against each other to give more of a domino effect, along with the ginger and the wasabi on either side. A lot of famous businesses like McDonald's and Burger King, hire food photographers and food stylists to create a nice image of their food for their menus or their commercials on tv. I think my photos turned out good, but I wish I would've used more warm lighting to capture some of the different colors in the sushi.
