Digital Assignment # 14: Family Portrait Recreation and One that is Meaningful in 5 Years

                                                                        Family Portrait


This portrait is important because it is our most recent photo together. We don't often get photos taken as a family, only once every few years. This was one of the neater, and less serious photos we did. I decided to recreate this image because it is fairly simple, and I thought it would be cool to see how all of us changed since we last had a family photo taken.

This image will be meaningful to my family in five years for several reasons. The first is that this portrait has the two family pets we have had for the longest amount of time. Sadly in five years there is a big chance that neither of them will be around, as Kenai(the dog) is 12 and Roxy(the cat) is 15. We have no other photos as a family that has Kenai and Roxy in them. Also this will be meaningful in five year because only one child will still be at home in five years, Jesse. Tyler and I will probably be off at college, and Paige could be starting a career or going on to further schooling.

With my high and low key photos I wanted to focus more on close ups. I picked some objects that I could get close to and control the lighting with. For my High key photos I photographed relatively light objects and placed them on a light background. I then played with my light meter a little to get the background really white. For my low key photos I photographed objects that were already in a dark setting. For the bowl I noticed that the light coming through the window was lighting up one side of it. I then bumped my light meter down a little so the highlighting would be greater and the background would be very dark.
