JYTKY! - A KABOOM!

Hei ystävät!

Näin Suurten Johtajien valintapäivänä haluaisin jakaa oman riemuni kanssanne ja julkaista lisää rumia koulutehtäväkuvia!
Tehtävänä oli ensin tutkia sivustoa http://kimjongillookingatthings.tumblr.com/ ja kopioida kuvaustyyliä omiin kuviin. En sit osannu kopioida salamavaloa niin kopioin vaan hahmon.
Sarjan nimi on "Kim Jong-monde looking at Kallio".

Hi friends!

Because today is a day for Great Leaders (the presidental election in Finland, though it's going to be round two in two weeks! and the exciting thing is that the candidates are a popular right wing -guy and a green party gay -guy against him, like David and Goliath! google for more!) I decided that I want to share my happiness and publish some more ugly photos from my exercises to school!
The idea was first to examine the light in this site http://kimjongillookingatthings.tumblr.com/ and then copy it to your own pictures. Because I didn't know how to copy the light I copied just the person.
The name of this series is "Kim Jong-monde looking at Kallio" where Monde is my friend who is the model in these and Kallio (literally translated as "the rock") is the part of Helsinki where I live.

Liikaa youtubee ja Pinjaa ja ihan liikaa paineita kuvata "hyvä sarja" salamakuvauskurssin tehtäviin joiden ideana on harjoitella nopeaa salamaa ja keskittyä salaman käytön sijaan mm. henkilönohjaukseen, yksityiskohtiin jne.
Tämmöstä sit tuli:


Too much of Youtube, too much of Pinja and way too much of pressure to photograph a "great series" for the flash course. The idea was to practice a fast flashlightning and focus (instead of the flash) on model control, on details etc.
And this is what I got:

Pinja as "nerdy first-grader in the 90's" -hipster.

Pinja as "cool kid on the block" -hipster.

Pinja as "Madonna-vibed Audrey" -hipster.

Pinja as "snowboarding during the summer with booze" -hipster

Pinja as "YEA YEA going to the Kuudes Linja club as soon as I finish this cigarette" -hipster

Pinja as "my b-friend works as a pilot and I really don't know how to react 'cause I'm actually against war I think" -hipster

Pinja as "the housewife cleaning the toilet and listening to Lady Gaga while the kids are at school" -hipster

Pinja as "I just moved to my own apartment aged 16 and I don't have any friends oh I'm so lonely" -hipster

Pinja as "why are you interrupting me during my drug-session?" -hipster

Pinja as "do you wanrt to have a conversation about Charles Dickens? and maybe some tea?" -hipster

Pinja as "the sunday morning hangout/hangover" -hipster

Joo tota. Voin puolustautuu kertomalla, että tarkotuksenani oli tosiaan kuvata räkäsiä ja halvan näkösiä ja pelkästään huonoja vaateyhdistelmiä ja rumia vaatteita sisältäviä "muotikuvia". Ne tahrat kennossa oli kurssin vetäjän mielestäki ok ja kommenttina tuli että "näyttää pokkarilla otetuilta" :----)

Well, I can try and defent myself by saying that my purpose really was to photograph cheesy and cheap looking and "with only ugly clothes and bad combinations of them" -themed "fashion shoots". All the stains in the photos looked OK according to my teacher and he also said that these look like taken with a small pocket camera. Nice?
