Three point Lighting

Our next class assignment revolved around  "three point lighting" 

The Three Point Lighting Technique is a standard method used in visual media such as video, film, still photography and computer-generated imagery. It is a simple but versatile system which forms the basis of most lighting

we took shots with the Key light,Fill light only, backlight only, and wide view shot with all lights on

Here's the shots I took of Naheka and Victaveous 

Techniques to Better Light

For our class assignment Professor Harwood led us outside to take three photos with our cell phone. the first image was a picture with the natural light behind us.

The next image we took was with another person holding a reflector up to improve the lighting 

Heres a look at the process.

Chestnut Street Pedestrian Bridge

Such a great day to be a bulldog at SCSU!

The Pedestrian bridge is on the way!

The bridge will cross Chestnut Street at Reid Street near University Village. The ramp system will tie down to the existing sidewalk located adjacent to the parking lot and tennis court on S.C. State’s campus.

This alone will give students better access to the campus instead of crossing through traffic.

Sequence Video

For a class assignment Professor Hardwood asked for us to shoot a sequence video with our fellow class mates. I chose my classmate Stephen Mason to star in my sequence video. The assignment it self was really fun and I was glad I was able to get more experience with editing and working the camera.

One of the biggest issues I experienced was the bad lighting in the building and also my tripod gave me minor issues. Overall I believe it was a success and i'm looking forward to more hands on assignments.


Here's a look at the sequence video that Stephen Mason shot of me and also edited it with Adobe Premiere.

Aftermath Of The Election

For a class assignment we were asked to interview students around SCSU campus on their thoughts of our new president Donald Trump. 

Many students were not pleased with the ideal and couldn't believe that this was now a reality for every citizen of the USA. Here's what they had to say!

Already Whole

In class we were given the assignment to make a Facebook Live video that had to be 5 minutes long. We could do the topic on any angle pertaining to what our blog is about. Alliyah chose to do a video topic called "Already Whole." In the video she talks about relationships and how women change themselves just to be who they think that man wants them to be.


We women should be more independent and not be so focused on the love of a man. Going into relationships looking to be a half, when we should go into it being already whole and complete, not needing another, just wanting. We need to already know our value and our worth before starting a new relationship. Going into a relationship with uncertainty, will just leave us vulnerable and dependent on the man. We are strong enough and smart enough to be our own selves not depending on anyone.


We dont need anyone telling us who we are, we need to have our own identity. We have enough problems with white America telling us how to be black and how black we can be, we dont need that from our own black men. It's time for us to stand up and stand tall and stop looking for someone to complete us when we're already whole.
