Conveying Emotion Through Lighting On An Expressionless Face, Brittany Lindsay, Rion Huffman
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.
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.

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 …
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 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.
Bringing Still Photos To Life Using Animation Techniques, Madison Wooldridge, Rion Huffman
Bringing Still Photos To Life Using Animation Techniques, Madison Wooldridge, Rion Huffman
Posters
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.
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 …
Melding The Mediums: Combining Fine Art, Graphic Design And Product Photography To Create Commercial Images, Natasha Lawrence, Rion Huffman
Melding The Mediums: Combining Fine Art, Graphic Design And Product Photography To Create Commercial Images, Natasha Lawrence, Rion Huffman
Posters
This project grew from a little girl enjoying paint by numbers, to an undergraduate student’s passion for graphic design and photography. The poster will showcase that student’s ability to synthesize information about fine art, graphic design and product photography techniques to create a series of finalized composite images with commercial value. The documentation of this academic journey will serve as a roadmap for others to understand the challenges and the overall process to meld these three mediums.
Liquid Motion Capture Techniques For Commercial Photography, Brooke Mock, Rion Huffman
Liquid Motion Capture Techniques For Commercial Photography, Brooke Mock, Rion Huffman
Posters
This project was done in order to learn more about splash photography for product work. The goal was to learn what kinds of ways one can create splashes in a photograph, without having to use to much photoshop manipulation, as well as experimenting with the difference in pouring a liquid and dropping an object into a liquid.
