Assignment 2 -- Lighting and Angles


My new Assignment : Angles and Lighting First Day at Class

My First Day... and as I am checking in at registration I see this girl ahead of me Smiling and you could tell she was excited about her first day too. So we started talking about class and how excited but nervous we were to even go in the classroom not knowing what to expect. She introduced herself as Hannah so I told her my name and we chatted for a bit and then both went our separate ways. I was a bit nervous about sharing a room with someone in the dorm but thought at least I will make a new friend. I opened the door and to my surprise I fell in love with this little tiny space and started unpacking and put my family picture beside my beside table. I missed them so much already especially My Mom since she was always so encouraging and loving. Well it was time for class so I hurried to get ready wanting to look a bit fashionable for my first day. As I approached the doorway to the classroom all of a sudden my nerves really hit me. There were so many students and all I could think was I just dont want to make a bad impression on them nor my teachers.
So I just smiled at the glances of everyone and in walks the teacher and welcomes us all to the classroom and explained that today we will be learning about angles and lighting in modeling and how they are a very big importance to a photograph. He explained techniques about it and then went on to say I will chose 5 of you to demonstrate. Oh wow my stomach turned I thought I would be sick if he called on me but no way there are so many students I thought. I had sat down close to the front so my chances of being called were close. The Teacher and his assistants were finishing up the Staging for this lesson. So he started looking at a piece of paper and started to call names, I took a deep breath... thinking not me please. It's like the excitement I had prior had just vanished because of fear. He called 3 names then he called mine. My heart was racing I felt a bit dizzy but thought you know I can do this. Mom would be telling me right now CARM you can do it! And remember this is your dream! and your Chance to learn Modeling! So the nerves were subsiding as I stepped up on the stage saying over and over I could do it! I waited and watched my classmates go one by one Posing as they were directed by the Teacher. I thought Wow that looks like so much Fun.. I will do just as they are some with confidence some with not.. One girl almost passed out so the teacher politely excused her so then it was my turn.
All kinds of emotions were going through me I felt confident but nervous again but the teacher was so nice and gave such great direction it eased me and his focus was on me. He had me stand in the lighting and angling the camera at me and I thought what do I do next. Well he directed me to turn at different angles but me facing the camera at first then he says just relax and pose as if there was nobody here and you were posing in your mirror. So slowly I started and was so unsure of what I was doing but he was so encouraging that I just went for it and posed he would tell me look here or look there or up or down or turn. So I did and I felt so confident in the fact I was actually modeling! It was like my dream came alive and I came alive with every flash I got more and more daring with my poses. He then said you did fine. Was that so bad? I told him no it was very exciting and he dismissed me. I went to my seat with such confidence and pride in myself that I had started my dream......! I had to call Mom after class and tell her everything and she was so excited for me. I told her I did it MOM! I cant wait to learn more and My dreams are finally coming true.....
