Evidence of Progress

Learning to use the studio and taking photos:

Creating a movie poster

Melanie’s comment

You did very well setting up the lights and directing them towards the subject. You had a good sense of what to do although I know that you found the camera challenging. I’d like to focus on this with you if we use the lights again. Your poster is great though. I love how you made the background blue to tie this in with the paler blues in the image. The blood and gore is a good contrast to the cuddly shark.
