Black And White Self Portraits

Since I have no models (don’t cry for me, Argentina) or workspace for that matter, the most willing person I have to experiment lighting with is myself at home. These are some of the results. I decided to add a color tone to these black and whites and decided to stick with primary colors.

Dodging the rain.

A friend and I made our way into Mamoun’s on West 4th for a bite to eat. After a shawarma, the plan was to hit the neighborhood and shoot around. Once the meal was done though, Mother Nature had other plans. As the torrential downpour was about to begin and we found an awning, I caught one guy making a run for some cover and two co-workers relaxing during the mid day lull at a competing falafel spot. A little slice of New York City.

I was really looking forward to heading on vacation to try some different techniques more than anything else. The first thing on my list was panoramic stitching. My photography professor recently introduced us to it formally in class and having spent the last few months looking at Ryan Brenizer’s photos on his site and seeing how he used panoramic stitching, I was excited to give it a try. The photograph excites me more for having used the technique well and producing a photo with no stitching flaws (which took plenty of hours of meticulous compiling) than the content. But it also holds a lot of promise in that this technique is very applicable in the real world here and I look forward to using it in the future. It opens up a world beyond the 50mm/f1.8 lens that would’ve previously only been able to capture but so much of the scene presented above. More than anything, I learned a very important lesson from this exercise, if I want to use panoramic stitching, I’m going to need a very well defined background. The shapelessness of the water merging with the sky as well as the sand continually proved to be troublesome once the time came around to merge the photos. I imagine a more defined background with more distinct features will present less of a problem, so at some point, it’ll be worth the effort to test this.
