The movie, Happy Gilmore, a comedic golf film, inspired me to produce this multiple exposure photo. Golf is also my favourite sport, and I take part in several tournaments throughout the summer break, I am also a member of the Oakville Trafalgar High School golf team. I wanted the viewer to imagine me running up to the ball and striking it with a mighty blow. In order to accomplish this, I made sure to position myself closer to the camera in each succeeding picture. I also wanted it to seem as though the ball's path was headed straight for the camera's lens, in order to shock the viewer.

The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly - Performance Task - Stirling Kim Moss

By: Stirling Kim Moss Living On The 🅦🅘🅛🅓🅔 Side The Good The “good me” is the one that strives to be the best that I can in all aspects of my life, especially during these last few crucial years of high school that will determine my future. Unlike others, I consider doing homework a good thing as it is necessary in order to accomplish my long term goals. So, here I am studying hard in order to achieve that elusive 100% on my next test! I wanted this photo to appear as though it was taken with a film camera, since I’m considered more of an old fashioned person. The blur/feathering effect that I produced around the edges was to lead the viewer's attention to the center of the picture. When people look at this, I want them to feel nostalgic, like you’re looking into a memory from the past. The Bad The “bad me” is the one that likes to live on the edge - at the lunatic fringes once in awhile. When you work hard at school, you need s...

Studio Lighting Research - Stirling Kim Moss

Studio Lighting Research Types of light Ambient light: The light that is already present in a scene, before any additional lighting is added. Main light: The light that illuminates the subject being photographed or filmed. It is usually positioned opposite or to the side of the subject to allow it’s light to easily reach and brighten part of the face or body. Fill light: A supplementary light used in photography that does not change the character of the main light and is used mainly in order to lighten shadows. Diffused light: A soft light with neither the intensity nor the glare of direct light. It is scattered and comes from all directions. Thus, it seems to wrap around objects. It is softer and does not cast harsh shadows. Ceiling Bounce: Rather than firing your flashgun pointing directly at your subject, you point it elsewhere typically up or at an angle, bouncing off a wall or ceiling. Background light: Used to illuminate the background area of a se...

Studio Lighting

By: Stirling Kim Moss Studio Lighting 1) Proper 2:1 Ratio Lighting It was quite the challenge to achieve this type of lighting where all shadows on the face and background had to be reduced as much as possible. I found that the positioning of the light sources, as well as the distance between the camera and the subject were the most crucial parts during the shoot. 2) Experimental Lighting I wanted to produce a large distorted/warped shadow that would resemble a monster or an alien behind me. It was a struggle at first because I wasn't exactly sure how to produce the shadows that I was looking for. I attempted to use several tungsten lights, however, the shadows that were produced we not quite as sharp as I wanted and were also far too dispersed along the wall. I attempted to try using a single LED bulb which allowed me to control how much light was being emitted and was just easier to work with all around. The LED bulbs were able to give o...
