More Final Work

Shot more for my final project. I'm really liking these. Shooting the last few on monday!

Final Workings

Here are the first two diptych's for my final! I shot the beauty shots with a beauty dish. I first tired the ring flash but I didnt like the way it looked and it seemed impossible to get it dialed down enough but still be close enough to shoot macro. I'm happy with these but I'm excited to do more and make them better!

Here are my shots from class last week! 

Baby Frank

I shot my good friend Sam's newborn, Frank, as a gift. He was pretty fussy for most of the time. But we were able to get off a few good ones. He really loves him Mommy, the only time he was happy was in her arms.

Final Start

I decided to go with my first idea of the diptychs with flowers for my final project. I made the decision based on the way my portfolio is going to turn out. I am required to make a portfolio for my portfolio development class. I decided I'm going to make one book of just beauty and a separate book of fashion at a later time. I think this series will fit in very well with my body of work so far. Here are the first shots of my project. These are the flowers I chose sort of at random. I just knew I wanted multi-colored flowers. I will draw inspiration from the flowers colors, shapes, and textures for the makeup. I wanted the shots to be simplistic and just showcase the beauty of the flowers and colors themselves.

Playing @ Progear

Tonight we got to play with lots of awesome toys at Progear! We shot with a Phase One and tried out a plethora of different strobe systems. It was alot of fun ;)
