Lets Drink...

     Just kidding, after shooting this assignment, drinking was not anywhere in my future. I know it has been a long while since I posted anything but I have been working really hard AND I am in my FINAL SEMESTER!!! Woot!!!!! And for the first series to go into my portfolio I did a five image photo series of drinks.  The theme was to play of the name of the drink, and to accomplish these images I use composite imaging.  I lined up my camera and did not move it the rest of the shoot.  I will let you in on a little secret, one photo in this series consists of 9 separate images, so a lot of time in the studio and many hours outside of the studio in front of my computer editing. In the end all the hours and frustrations, even the bad cut on my finger was worth it.  I have push my limits and concepts with this series and I am pleased to she the final five images!

Yes, if you are wondering about the tentacles, they are real octopus tentacles! It was very slimy and very smelly, but looks awesome!

I can guarantee you will never guess what the background actually is!

I injured myself on this shoot, and I was really frustrated but in the end I think this is my favorite image! You know it is a serious shoot when you have to ask the university to turn off the smoke detectors so the fog machine doesn't set them off, and you get arrested or something bad like that.





















Hope you enjoyed my photos. I am always available for any professional photography for any occasion, and photos are also available for purchase. Please leave comments and suggestions. Thank you for you continuous support. -Deanna C. Sakal
