Start to my series

Yesterday I got to start on my stereotype series for my adv photography class. I must say I feel like I am off to a good start. There still may be a lot to figure out with this stereotype assignment. Mainly how to get the viewer to figure out whats going on in the picture, with little hints of what the stereotype may be. I have play with a different lighting technique also with the pictures that i took yesterday. I feel that the lighting that I used helps out with the presentation and how the picture is viewed. I can truly say this project is not going to be a walk in the park.

wedding photographer

Have been thinking about starting to shoot weddings lately. I have seen one wedding photographer that has blown my mind. His style is truly amazing to me. You can view his work at http://www.rossoscarknight.com/

Housewives

Last Thursday was the first day of class for me. I had a photoshoot schedule for that day also, it was a housewives photoshoot. My friend Tamika came up with the idea so I told her I was game. We needed a nice location to do the shoot, so i pick up my phone and made a phone call. We had a choice to use a furnish or unfurnished room for the shoot. Of Course my friends wanted to use a furnish room for the shoot. I shoot went good as usually, we had some welcome back to school fun.

Documentary Photography

Here is a sneak peak of some of my photos for my documentary photography class.

engagement

On Saturday I took a drive down to Peachtree City. I had some engagement pictures that I needed to take for Esther and Steve. Now keep in mind I have not taken engagement pictures in about a five months now. I had to get back in the mindset of this type of photography. The reason being is that most of my pictures have been on the edgy side of things lately. I have been given the title as "the edgy photographer" for a few months now, but I am much more then just an edgy photographer. I am glad i got a chance to do some engagement pictures, because it made me get back to doing these type of pictures.

Not today

On Thursday i got a call from my friend, she wanted to do a photoshoot with her new short hair. I asked her where she wanted to do the photoshoot at and of course she said the photo studio. I told her that I really did not want to shoot in the studio. She convince me to shoot in the studio, because females tend to get their way for some odd reason. We shot in the studio for about an hour and i could not take it anymore. I told her and my other friend that i was tired of shooting in the studio and we needed to go on location. I pack the equipment up and we headed outside for the rooftop. It was about 8pm when we started shooting on the rooftop. The fact that i have my own equipment, lighting was not an issue for shooting night time pictures. I must say we got some nice shots on the rooftop, and because it was dark it gave a nice effect to the pictures. In the end i was glad I stepped up and said we need to get out of this studio.

clothing

I have been doing an independent study this semester. It has been fun and challenging to make these items come to life. The stuff i have been working on are clothes made from different items. I have been using many different techniques, to figure out how i want certain clothes presented. Here are a few items that i have been working on.
