Conveying Emotion Through Lighting On An Expressionless Face, Brittany Lindsay, Rion Huffman
Posters
The purpose of this project was to explore how light affects the overall emotion of a picture when color and facial expressions are removed. Typically, a viewer’s emotion is affected by color and expressions seen on different faces. Each model will have their portrait taken in six different light set-ups. Through those six different photos, I will demonstrate how much light affects a viewer’s interpretation of mood for each picture.

Arguably, there are few examples of imagery in advertising that are more powerful than professional quality fashion portraits. However, creating successful images in this genre is incredibly challenging. Photographers must not only master the crafts of lighting, posing and other techniques in their profession, but they must also master scheduling, time management, communication and interpersonal relationships. The photographer must rely on a team of professionals, from make-up artists to models. This poster will document one undergraduate students’ journey to master these challenges and complete a series of themed fashion portraits for commercial usage. Emphasis will be placed on documentation, explanation …
The Art Of Creating Photographic Portrait Sketches, Pablo E. Ortiz, Rion Huffman
The Art Of Creating Photographic Portrait Sketches, Pablo E. Ortiz, Rion Huffman
Posters
The art of creating a professional quality photographic portrait is a skill that an undergraduate student may take their entire educational career to master. On a separate path, an undergraduate may also take their career to master freehand drawing and sketching. When these two creative paths align, the results can be extraordinary. This poster will showcase the journey of one undergraduate student to combine their photographic and artistic portrait skills along with software techniques to create one of a kind photographic portrait sketches. The poster will serve as a best practices guide to the creation of each image.
Religion, Politics, And The "Virgin Queen", Ellen Long, Kyle Thompson
Religion, Politics, And The "Virgin Queen", Ellen Long, Kyle Thompson
Posters
This paper will analyze Elizabeth I’s political style and the effects on it by both religion and influential men in the “Virgin Queen’s” council. Her relationships with Mary Tudor and Mary, Queen of Scots, and their religion, affected her politics and how her Protestantism clashed with these two Catholic monarchs. Comparing Mary Tudor’s forceful assertion of Catholicism in her reign to Elizabeth’s approach to Protestant dissenters will demonstrate religion’s role in their politics. I will also analyze the aspect of religion on Elizabeth’s and Mary Stuart’s dual claims to the English throne. Elizabeth Jenkins’s work, Elizabeth the Great, explores all …

The JaK’D Modular Drum System (MDS) is a drum module that allows the customer to purchase a base module with a certain amount of ports and allows the option to purchase add-on modules to give more input ports as needed. With existing drum modules on the market, if one were to run out of input ports, they would have to buy an entirely new module that has room for the new devices. The JaK’D MDS negates this problem by introducing expandability to the drum module market. The front of the main module has an LCD screen with directional buttons to …

Seeing What Is Not There: The Art And Process Of Infrared Photography, Audrey Dainty, Rion Huffman
Seeing What Is Not There: The Art And Process Of Infrared Photography, Audrey Dainty, Rion Huffman
Posters
Infrared photography is a seldom-explored photographic technique, however there is a wealth of knowledge to be gained in regard to tonality and surrealism when utilizing this technique. The process of capturing infrared images through an infrared lens filter is a more practical, yet still complex, approach to this photography technique. Resulting images lack definition and need refinement through digital editing. This poster will serve the following purposes: 1. Outline the process of capturing images with an infrared sensitive lens filter. 2. Outline the process of editing infrared images in order to properly utilize their tonality and surrealistic properties.
Mary Stuart: Turbulence In Politics & Religion, Latayzia Harris, Kyle Thompson
Mary Stuart: Turbulence In Politics & Religion, Latayzia Harris, Kyle Thompson
Posters
Mary Stuart’s upbringing played a large part in her political and religious positions, as well as her position as a female ruler in a land dominated by the whims of men. Mary is often portrayed as a passionate woman whose life was dominated by her emotions. At 6 days old Mary inherited the throne to Scotland, a highly contested region located directly above the ever-expanding realm of England. Mary spent much of her time in France, being raised as the Dauphiness to strengthen the ties of Catholic monarchs. Historians like John Guy and Antonia Frasier frame this as a very …
Refraction And Portraiture, Lindsey Chambers, Rion Huffman
Refraction And Portraiture, Lindsey Chambers, Rion Huffman
Posters
Using a glass ball (known as a crystal ball, lens ball, or refraction ball), one is able to capture a unique perspective in a photo. When light passes through a denser mass, refraction occurs. An inverted image of the scene behind the ball is seen. Refraction balls are most often used in landscape or up-close photography, where the ball creates a similar effect to a fisheye lens. Though, the refraction ball has much more flexibility. The ball can be used within the scene to create an interesting focal point. This project uses a sixty-millimeter refraction ball to showcase people in …

This paper looks at the political style of Mary Tudor and examines how her upbringing and gender influenced her policies and ultimately whether she was an effective leader. Religion was paramount during her reign, and heavily affected Mary’s policies. Her actions resulted in the nickname, “Bloody Mary”; this paper discusses if this is a valid name for her and overall how the Protestant Reformation impacted her time as queen. I will examine the extent to which Mary was influenced by men in her life and how they and her gender impacted her reign. David Loades wrote, “The Reign of Mary …

Pixel Size's Effect Upon Photo-Resolution, Levi Dewitt, Rion Huffman
Pixel Size's Effect Upon Photo-Resolution, Levi Dewitt, Rion Huffman
Posters
A common misconception with cameras is that the resolution of the photo—or the surface area of the picture measured in pixels, often referred to as pixel count—is the most important factor determining the picture quality. One of the first things that an aspiring photographer learns when researching cameras are that pixel count is not a highly representative factor in determining the resolving power, or clarity, of a camera. If the pixel count determines the physical dimensions of a picture, how would a professional camera with a 12-megapixel resolution—which yields a photo with a surface area of roughly 12,000,000 pixels—take any …

The image of engineering as a masculine profession has reproduced the perception that engineering is unsuitable for women. Various strategies have been used to try to increase the number of women entering engineering education and employment, but their success has been limited. This study will provide explicit insights to the problems encountered by the female engineers from Asia. This study will help Asian women engineers’ aspiring careers in American engineering industries to understand the real-life scenario in terms of employment in the USA. It will also help the employers to acknowledge the problems faced by the female engineers and incorporate …

Cameras are a tool used to capture still images. This project examines a way to bring still images to life without using any video components. By studying basic animation principles, and dissecting photos based on subject, background, and foreground, Adobe Creative Suite will be utilized to bring still photos to life. Through my research, I discovered the best software for creating moving photos. This project also finds the best way to photograph images, so the dissection of the subject, background, and foreground is seamless and a more streamlined process.
