For my food, I brought cheese and crackers. For props, I used a hot plate, napkin and white poster for background. The five things I learned and did not know from the food photography video and presentation about food photography is that props, lighting, background, inedible products can be used to make a food picture perfect. For example, background setting, props and lighting help set the emotional approach to a photo. To make my photograph look similar to the professional food photography shots I took the photos at various angles to let the person viewing the picture see both the cheese and the crackers. Some businesses that use food photography are McDonald's, Taco Bell,and Burger King. I think I was successful in displaying the food in the picture. Food photography may become a hobby for me during random moments in my life, because I would be able to show people what I like to eat if they ask.

To create this image I took my camera and took photos of objects that formed the letter of my nickname. Next, I then imported the photos onto the computer and made them black and white. Then, I cropped the photos to make the let stand out more. After cropping, I then adjust the contrast of every picture to be about the same. Then, I opened photoshop and used U.S. Paper format to set the pictures background. Next, I Grabbed each individual paper and used the moved to adjust the location of the image. To make the letters the same size, I transformed each letter individually.
This project is mainly difficult in find the letters in the environment, but I am proud of the outcome of the photos. The second letter M could have been better, but it still is visible within the final cut. All the other letters stand out and are not really hidden. In the future, I am a businessman collaborating with my coworkers. The environment around me is very engaging. The room I work in is well lit and has a nice view of the town. My wife mainly takes care of the kids while I work. On my spare time I hangout with my family, and stay connected with my friends. Occasionally I head to the gym to keep myself in shape and healthy. Tonight is the release of Captain America Civil War. Robert Downey Jr. so happens to be by the theatre and I just had to get a picture. I asked my friend to take a picture so I could share this to my other friends and family. To make these photos in Photoshop, I first searched google for a large sized image. After, I then decided who I wanted to be inside the photo and then had a partner take a picture of me mimicking the person. When both photos are on the desktop I then put them in the Photoshop and resized the resolution to 300. Once both have been set, I used the lasso tool to select the area around my head and then used the move tool to drag my head onto the photo I searched and picked on google. Next, I set the opacity to 60%, and then transformed the image with scaling and rotating it to match the persons face. After completing the overlap, I then used a layer mask on my head crop to allow me to brush with a black/white color to trim the image and make it more fit to the environment. Since the persons skin color didn't match mine, I then had to use color balance and brightness/contrast to match the skin colors. To finally smooth out the image I then used the dodge tool on the edges of the cropped area in the business photo.
