Window Light

     I am finally back into a shooting class! Yay!!! I am in a class called Introduction to Photographic Illustration. Basically an all around commercial photography class where we get to use lights and fun little tricks to make things look good. Our first assignment was a bit of a warm up because we have been out of a shooting class for three quarters. Our first assignment was Window Light Still Life. we had to photograph an object only using natural light. I went antiquing with some friends and found an old tin toy I thought would be fun for this assignment. Here are some of the photos I took and edited. Tell me what you think!


This first picture is the picture I used for the class, the other two I just really liked so I thought I would put them up. 























Hope you enjoyed my photos. Please leave comments, or suggestions of photos you want to see posted as well as ideas for photos I can take. Thank You.

"Black Balloon"

These photos are for SPI also know as the Society for Photographic Illustrators. We are having a show at the end of the quarter and the theme is Song Illustration. We pick a song and put it into photographs anyway we interpret it. I picked "Black Balloon" by the Goo Goo Dolls!

"Baby's black balloon makes her fly"

Skin Care

     The new issue of Thread is coming out in the next day or so, so I think it is now appropriate that I put up some pictures from my shoot. I shot the first cosmetics page that the magazine ever did and the topic was skin care. I will give an update when the issue comes out, about what pictures were used and what page the article is on. Right now I am working on the next issue and I and shooting the women of the Boxcar Burlesque group.

I never turned this in, it was more of an experiment.

Fête des lumières

Another reason I was so excited about going to France over break was because of the Festival of Lights in Lyon.







This is my favorite picture from the festival. it is a movie being projected into the mist of a fountain.

Lyon, France



I also went to Lyon France where I wondered around the park across from the hotel and took some of these pictures.



These images were taken inside the basilica which overlooks Lyon.
