REVIEW AND REFINE.

WWW
In my photos I think I did really well on
focusing the targets and blurring the
backgrounds, In my opinion the edits went
really well too. I also had very nice and clean
lighting in most of my photographs.

EBI
I did more edits in different styles and used
more composition techniques in all of my
shoots. It also would have been helpful if I took
a few more photographs in my shoots so I had
more to edit.

My favorite photographs are the one from the

aperture shoot where my model was holding the
object (key) because I focused the object and
blurred the background perfectly very well.

 DARREN PEARSON

The photographer Darren Pearson was born in the United States.

He was born on the 10th April 1983 making him 40 years old currently.
Darren Pearson still works on his photography light painting in the USA.
The techniques Darren Pearson has used are Light painting, Rule of thirds, and colours.
I am inspired by his bright light painting technique and will try to use it in my own photos.

DARREN PEARSON INVESTIGATION
Darren pearson is a light painting
photographer that was born in California
on the 10th April 1983 making him 40
years old. I am interested in his work as it
stands out to other light painting
photographers as he is very skilled at
sculpting figures and drawings. When
looking at his photographs, for example
the one on the left, my eye is drawn to the
light painting art that he has made. I am
Inspired by his Work and will be
attempting similar things as I will be
trapping my model in light painting.

MOST SUCCESSFUL EDIT FROM SHOOT.

I think this is the most successful photo of my shoot as there is a very large variety of colours and it links to lock very
well because all the light trails around him are trapping him and enclosing him mentally too.
