Creating photographs and understanding a styled image

Alex posing for a playful photo shoot. This shoot shows expouser and focusing, Alex is the main focus of in the pictures and the the expouser with the natural light coming from the left create a clear image, where your imagine what he was doing at the time. His backwards leaning pose and a slight hint of a smile with his arm resting lightly towards the back of his knee helps to mave his pose stands out and draws all attention to him and his movement. Going through this slide you will be able to identify key things that are important when creating astrong image that standout and is good enough to hold center point. He is isolated and the lighting is clear as you can see it natural sunlight so no need to use flash.These different images and poses highligt to me the diffrent degree of work goes into doing photoshoots. In some images you can see strong to suttle movements , while other are a bit Abstract , expermental and out of focuse. Image one , two and three are strong and especially three the natural light is very clear. Image four is a bit darker and abstract as the wall on his right and apart of the building are all blending in taking away some of the attention fron Alex. This is apart of my journry while learning about photography and photographer, while showing how difficult or esay it can be to get good imagies when playing around with ones camera.

The pictures in the slide below wrier done in a studio using studio lighting, such as flash , continuous lighting portable flash and different setting on a smart phone as well. We tried using different studio lighting from flash heads and monolights to softboxes and light banks, directed lamps, high key and low key and Umbrellas. It was an eye opening experience, which I enjoyed very much.
