Class Ten

This week class started at 5 pm due to having the lecture with the official chief photographer for the former governor of Maryland, Martin O'Malley. In class Dr. Chris talked about what to do and not to do when you are filming outside. He told us that when you are getting an exterior shot that we have to make sure not to get the sun in the shot and sometimes you may have to use reflectors to do so. It was very insightful for when we go out to shoot in the future to know these tips. After class finished we went to the lecture. Jay Baker, who was the photographer speaking, was very interesting. He spoke about how he started taking photographs in college and how he shot for the newspaper at his school. Than he talked about his work in advertising and taking shots for different magazines. Afterwords he spoke about shooting different members of the government. It was so interesting how he had taken a picture of President Obama before he was president and was just the senator of Illinois. He had no idea that the senator he took the picture of was going to be the future president. Mr. Baker also had many other shots of Obama when he did become president. After he showed us pictures of Governor O'Malley, who he was the chief photographer of him. His pictures were truly phenomenal and it was really funny how much he loves shooting with the fish eye lens. I am really glad we had to go to this lecture because it was very insightful. 

Here are some pictures I took while there:
