My Self Expression

So I took this shot as an expression of who I am as a photographer. The photo was taken at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, CA  I took the shot in front of a mirror, so everything you see in the background is a reflection from the mirror.  By adjustng my aperture and shutter speed, I was able to get a shot without the glare/distortion from the reflection of the mirror or the lights.

The photo above was taken March 2015, Approximately three months after I received my certification in digial studio photography.  There was alot I did not know prior to going to school for photography, such as, how to match the aperture to the. shutter speed in order to get a shot that required little or no editing; I did not know about the different types of metering modes and how it affects the overall quality of the shot.  I will go into further detail regarding what is truly needed in order to get a perfect shot in my future posts.
