hi i am gab

Hi! I’m Gabriela Leann L. Angeles, a 2nd year college student taking up Multimedia Arts at St. Dominic College of Asia. Currently, I am the Photography Guild Executive at Red Concepts. I am an aspiring professional photographer as I love and enjoy taking photographs, one of the reasons why I pursued Multimedia Arts.

As a 2nd year BMMA student, Digital Photography 2 (MMA203) is one of our courses. In this portfolio, let me share with you my photography works for this subject.

output one LIGHT PAINTING Year 2022

Camera Canon EOS 2000D

Light painting is an exposure technique wherein a moving light source-- such as a flashlight, glow stick, light brush, or even a smartphone-- to alter or paint an image while taking a long exposure photograph.

In this photo, we were tasked to use food as our subject and light painting technique must be applied. I set up various vegetables, dry ginger ale, and a pot and used pants for a textured background. In a totally dark room, I set up my camera and used smartphone flashlight to paint highlights and shadows on my subject. After some cleanup, I was quite satisfied with the outcome as it looked like a modern still life painting.

INTENTIONAL MOTION BLUR Year 2022 Type Random Photography Outdoor Photography Camera Canon EOS 2000D

Intentional motion blur is another exposure technique where it involves moving your camera in a particular motion to create a blur while taking a long exposure photograph. This technique is fun to do as you can experiment different camera movements in order to create blur effects, patterns, and abstracts in your photo.

I took these photos in my neighborhood because it reminded me of a typical dapit-hapon wherein the neighborhood is peaceful, moms finishing the laundry, and kids roaming around with their bicycles. Intentionally blurring the photos gave off a dreamy vibe which made it feel like these childhood memories are all just a dream.

HARD AND SOFT LIGHTING Year 2022 Type Portrait Photography Camera Canon EOS 2000D

eight

Hard and soft lighting are different types of lighting commonly used in photography as well as film. Soft light is light that tends to “wrap” around objects, projecting diffused shadows with soft edges, whereas hard light is more focused and produces harsher shadows.

In this photography output, we were tasked to produce a photo with soft lighting and another with hard lighting with the theme Quarantine. With that, I came up with these photos: the two photos on the left page shows a portrait photo of a medical frontliner with a hard light set-up.

Meanwhile the photo above is another portrait image of me laying down, representing the loneliness and anxiety many people feel during the quarantine period. The natural light on this photo creates soft light and shadows.

CRITIQUE Year 2022 Type Toy Photography Food Photography Object Photography Camera Canon EOS 2000D

output five

A photo critique is a detailed assessment of a photograph, the key activity in critique is analysis. It does not consider whether feedback is negative or positive, but it is simply an analysis of what works and what doesn’t

For this last photography output, we were tasked to photograph an image/s with 2-3 intentional errors but the catch is that it shouldn’t be noticeable by non-photographers. In this activity, our eye for photographic errors are tested. The first photo is a toy car, it may seem like a normal photo but the back portion of the car is too blurred out and underexposed to the point that the details aren’t clear. The second photo is one of my food photography shots, the shadow of the fork and plate is too harsh making the set-up look too artifiicial, there’s also a bare/blank space on the upper left part of the photo making the photo look like an incomplete puzzle. The third photo is another failed shot from my food photography as the framing is too tight and the lighting is too harsh creating dark shadows. For the last photo, the artificial flowers looked extra artificial because of the overhead lighting creating extended shadows and the photo does not have enough headspace.

Type Portrait Photography Photo Series Camera Canon EOS 2000D

A photography series is a collection of images that are linked and showcased together. A series of photos will often have the same theme and have a conceptual bond or are shot at the same location. Photo series are often edited with the same method and in the same style focusing on coherence.

Sining Sinta: Sa Ngalan ng Larawan is a photo series contest organized

by Gabriela Angeles and Justine Calamba from Red Concepts. With the theme Tahanan, participants capture a series of photos to encapsulate their own definition of home. As part of the MMA203 requirement, I joined the contest with my entry entitled Home within a Home.
