A childs creativity

For this project i decided to take photos of my niece drawing. Sadie is not thinking of school the next day or anything else but her art, i love this quality a child possesses. We should all take a page out of her book and take some time each day to do something to live in the moment.

These shots are taken from the other side of the window/ screen.

On Location Flash

My good friend Mark is always a trust worthy model. This is one of my favorite of the batch.

My mother at her art studio. I was happy how this turned out, another one of my favorites.

Self portrait..I Like the tiles in this one. This is my "Liebowitz" effect shot but i went to the extreme side of under exposing the background, i feel the low key quality adds to the photo.

Location flash is awesome, i really enjoyed working with it. I think of so many possibilities, and i still need to experiment with it.

The difference of shadow darkness between five to one and nine to one is very subtle.

No Fill is definitely my favorite.

Flowers

I like my flower shot for all the blackness of it. I shot without a reflector to get this effect. It is most noticeable in the big rose, it fades to black at the bottom.

Fruit

I did a Stop Motion for the fruit project. I had a really hard time using the new Imovie program...so its not the best editing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6E1XbcjFuI

Food

I am more satisfied with my desert shot. Its totally true that an excellent food shot is hard to achieve. Most shots are the same and to make the shot excellent i think it takes new ways to shoot food.

Food

A nice simple shot. Effective DOF.
A different way of looking at you breakfast.

Glass

I enjoyed working in the studio for this assignment. I would have liked to have a more creative shot on black, but I was short on time. I am content with the outcome of the on white shot, breaking that glass was definitely a happy accident.

Egg Project.

The saying, "Having egg on your face", is used when someone is embarrassed because of their own actions. In the above picture, Holden makes makes a fool of himself by saying something he shouldn't have to his first date, Caroline.
