Dear future photo1 students,

At first, I took this class just because I thought it was cool, but it turned out to be one of my favorite classes. I learned so much and had a great time. This class helped me find my creativity and figure out what kind of photographer I am. Now, I’m excited to take photo2 next year. I was nervous at first because I only took pictures with my phone, but Mrs. Cauchon taught me everything. She’s an amazing teacher who is funny, kind, and makes the class feel safe and comfortable. She explains every step clearly and is always there to help. To future students, don’t wait until the last minute to do your work, and make sure to have fun, and respect her time and listen, because she truly respects us too. If you get to have Mrs. Cauchon, enjoy it, she made this class one of the best parts of my sophomore year. photo1 is a great opportunity.

For this surrealism collage I put two monkeys and a dolphin driving on grass in the sky with a pink planet as the sun. There wasn’t really an idea behind it but it’s like two friend groups exploring the world.

Emily Blincoe is a photographer known for her simple and colorful style. She often takes pictures of everyday objects arranged in creative ways, making them look beautiful and interesting.

White balance in photography helps make colors look natural in different kinds of light. It gets rid of strange color tints, so whites look white and other colors are correct.

Here are the white balance settings:
1. Auto: The camera adjusts on its own for easy use.
2. Daylight: Best for sunny days, gives a warm look.
3. Cloudy: Adds warmth when it’s cloudy outside.
4. Shade: Warms up pictures taken in the shade.
5. Tungsten: Fixes the yellow color from regular light bulbs.
6. Fluorescent: Removes the greenish tint from fluorescent lights.
7. Flash: Adjusts for the cool light from a flash.
8. Custom: Lets you set the balance yourself for accurate colors.

These settings help make your photos look better with the right colors.

One tip I would give is to really take your time and zoom in and see what type of makeup you would like to put on.

Also, I would give is to bring the opacity low on the brush to make sure you move over the area over and over, so it blends.

Another tip is to use the healing brush tool to remove any pimples, acne so the image can look smoother.

Try and get a portrait of the persons full face, so it is easier to draw on.

The last tip is to use a variety of colors, so the makeup comes out good, funny, and it can stand out at the same time.

1. JPEG: Makes pictures smaller but loses some quality, good for photos.

2. HEIF: Better at keeping quality while being smaller, used in phones.

3. TIFF: High-quality format that can be big or small, great for printing.

4. RAW: Keeps all data from the camera for editing, but files are large.

5. DNG: Adobe’s standard RAW format that keeps all camera data.

6. PNG: Keeps quality and supports clear backgrounds, good for web images.

7. GIF: Has only 256 colors and can be animated, popular for memes.

8. BMP: High-quality but very large files, not used much anymore.

9. PSD: Photoshop’s format that allows layers and editing, needs Photoshop to open.
