White Balance
In this activity, we were asked to set our cameras to AUTO and photograph a blank, white piece of paper. The purpose of this activity was to show how different types of light in different areas of our school effect how white the paper appears in a photo. As you can see from the photos, the lighting in the various areas changed how white the paper looked and showed us where we shouldn't take pictures of our models for the portrait project. When photographing portraits on my own, I need to change the Kelvin level (what can make the picture have more cold tones or have more warm tones) in the photos or the location where I am shooting the model to ensure that my White Balance is correct for my subject. This will affect the portraits we take because, each model will have a different skin tone so the photographers job is to make sure that the lighting and white balance is correct to ensure that the model can be shown to the public in 'the right light' and can correctly show case the individuals beauty.
