Stephany Poce: UCLA Photography Student

How Photography Affects Memory by Stephany Poce We take more photos now than ever. However, do we still value them like we did in the past? As a photographer, I take countless photos every day. I take them with professional cameras, different lenses, and with smart phone cameras. I’m always trying to get the right angle, feeling, shade, aperture, focus, and lighting. It takes patience to get it right. Some people prefer completely candid shots but I’m not one of those. Photography & Memory by Stephany Poce Growing up both my mother and father were always snapping shots of our family on vacation at Disneyland, at the beach, on my birthday, the first day of school, and on and on….   My mother would say to me, “ Stephany smile for the camera but look natural” which was always a challenge for me.

Photography Tips by Stephany Poce A gray card is usually used to get the right amount of exposure in a shot. Sometimes when you are shooting in bad light situations like dark objects or snow the exposure meters on cameras have a difficult time figuring out what the right exposure is so the snow ends up appearing more gray or a black object looks more gray also. The gray card can help remedy this. When you take a photograph of a gray card the middle of the scale will be higher. On many cameras this raise is usually 1/3 a stop under exposed. That's why many of the professional photographers use light meters instead of cards because the cards have different levels of reflection. When I want a warmer feeling I use the gray card for white balancing and the white side for a slightly cooler feel. However, everything depends on how the card is being held, the light source and the camera. It also depends on whether you are shooting outside or inside. copyright 2017 Stephany Poce...
