Vino?

     Composite lighting, the next task of the semester, and a new editing challenge. I am the type of person, if I can shoot most of it in camera I will. If i can use minimal lighting, I will. With this assignment the camera had to remain in one place while the light moved and to top it off, we had to have two similar images. I learned a new trick to white line glass, and I had to try it out on this assignment. I will admit I am no master at editing, but I learned a few new tricks that have already helped me out a lot.

Glass and Bubbles

     My second assignment for the semester involved a self promotional mailer. I did and accordion book with about seven of my images. I chose to shoot new images of glassware for the mailer. I was proud of the simplicity of these images. I have a love affair with black line and reflections.

And so it begins... School

     So here I am, a senior at Ohio University, with less than a year to go (insert panic here). I am so glad to get back into the studio and this year I am going to improve and put mu all into my photography. I do not want anything to hold me back, and I am determined to learn and try new things.
     The first assignment of the year is a black and white advertisement. I decided to do an d for Fossil. I really liked this image, but it was difficult to shoot due to the fact I injured my neck the day I was originally supposed to shoot, but I rested and shot a few days later, and these are my images.

Here is the advertisement I created.

The uncropped version.

I also decided to put my color edited images on here as well because I like the color theme.

Going in a New Direction... Equestrian

     I am really trying to do more animal portraiture and these are some recent images and portraits. They are of my friend Brandon and his Tennessee Walker, Misty. These images are taken over a few weeks during different situations, but they are some of my favorites. Photographing Misty has made me realize how much I love animals and want to work with more horses. I wish I knew how to really work with horses and I wish I knew how to ride, but for now I am perfectly happy with photographing these beauties. My next image in mind for the future involves misty in the snow. I hope it works out!

Thank you again Brandon Blatt, and Misty for being sports while I experiment, I hope we can continue this fun adventure!

I wanted to try something different so I played with textures to enhance the image of MIsty. I really love how it came out. 

I have to admit this is my favorite non facial portrait of both Brandon and Misty, I entered it into a contest!

Beautiful natural light on Misty

I worked hard for this real expression of happiness. He was fighting me the whole time.

Brandon's Dad came down to AThens and rode Misty. I love the toning and the wood in the background.

I like reflections.

The sun came out after a hard rain, so I played with the water and reflections as you can see in my other images.

This is actually a reflection in a large puddle.
