Final Project : Light At Night
In my final Photography project I wanted to explore Photographing at night. I also wanted to capture natural photographs of people, with no posing using the lights provided in the landscape.
In the 1st photograph I tried to capture the moon and it’s light in the landscape. you can see the moon crest the mountains in the horizon.
The 2nd photograph is my husband standing on an old dock with the lights of our truck illuminating him.
The 3rd photograph of my husband and his friend cutting firewood to keep our house warm for the winter. Its the end of the day and they are cutting and loading the last of the wood into the truck. A truck is illuminating the area so they can see in the dark.
The 4th photograph is of my husband resting, leaning on a light pole after cleaning the boat, he is illuminated by the light on the dock.
The 5th Photograph Is my husband and the crew of the boat, he fishes every year. The crew is being illuminated by the light from the boat.
In the 6th Photograph is the boat called ‘Nordic Queen’. My husband fishes on this boat every year. The boat is being illuminated by its own lights.

Portraits or Still Life
Portraits
I would like to capture my children’ s Portraits for this project. I would like to portray a rawness and edgy feeling to the photographs, by using the concrete in my basement for my background with a variety of lighting sources; such as room light, lamps and window light. I would also like to try and play with the contrast filters and toners for different effects.
Portraits
Portraits of my children; Damyn, Tianna, Kory, Owen.
Photographs were captured in my basement. I used the white wall and grey cemented floor as the background, while they sat on a 2ft x 1ft x 1ft wooded block. using a 3.5 Aperture and 8th of a second shutter speed.
Damyn
F11 – 15 seconds exposure
2.5 contrast
This photograph was a happy accident. Its was double take (double exposure) by mistake. the blurred background helps Damyn to pop out in the front of the composition for a bold look. The effects that the double exposure left behind in the photograph created a visual element of what looks like there could be a piece of glass set in between and separating Damyn and his shadows. Damyn is a funny, down to earth, loving, caring yet serious young man and it truly shows threw his photographs.

Kory is a Shy, quiet and reserved young man who has a quirky and fun side that only comes out around people he cares about and is comfortable with. It took me a few photographs and his dad making him laugh, but I was able to capture his quiet side as well as his fun and quirky side in these three photographs.

This double exposed photograph was captured at Roberts Lake, located 40 km north of Campbell River. On my way home I often stop and visit this place on Lake captured in the photograph. So on one of my visits I decided to capture it’s beauty. There is reminiscence of what looks like it was once dock or tie up place. This is were I sit to either think or just gaze at the beautiful landscape. Using the timer on the camera I Captured myself sitting on the reminiscence of the old dock.

This double exposed photograph was captured on the back-roads of Campbell River. Every time I am out on the back-roads for a drive, I drive by this same place captured in the photograph. On this day I had one of my sons with me and we decided to stop for a break at this place we call the ‘Buddha’. He was sitting on a log in front of the Buddha statue that has been there since the first time I passed by this place. He looked so calm and at peace, so I wanted to capture that emotion. I chose to double Expose this photograph trying to capture the emotions; of peace and being one with nature. The same way I felt watching my son as he just melted into the landscape.
Module 1 – Landscape & Place
Project Proposal– Landscape and Place
Every time I go on an adventure through nature. I could be walking through a trail, or driving down a dirt road, I always seem to come across something useful to people that humans have created, but then its just left behind to waste away. As I pass by these forgotten manufactured items left behind for nature to dispose of, I cant help myself but to stop and admire their beauty. Whether its natural or unnatural I always seem to think of its purpose, and wonder what it’s story is, the life it held. I would love to capture these beautiful unnatural object left behind in nature, using black and white photography. I am going to try and experiment with double exposures. I would like to play around with photographing nature and its foreign object, then exposing another photo of one of my family members within frame.
