On Wednesday me and my Portrait family got hit with one heck of a flash lab from Erin. We were given two locations on the RCC campus and we had to produce 16 images at each location with different compositions, DOF, focal lengths, and the list goes on. We split up into groups and went our separate ways. My group ended up being Jen, Anna, … Continue reading Fun with Flash?

While driving home on Friday after checking out a bunch of equipment for a busy weekend, my engagement couple who I was planning on meeting with this weekend had to cancel. If I wasn’t stressed enough already, this was the nail in the coffin for me. I desperate and started texting all my friends who are currently in relationships hoping that I could get somebody … Continue reading Engagement Session (Sorta…)

My good friend Paul here turned out to be a worthy opponent for me. He was real messed up before I got a hold of him but I think I got him back into shape. Although this was a very long, stressful process for me, I think that this was one of my favorite assignments from PHO-241. I learned a lot with this project that … Continue reading My friend, Paul.

Although we ended up taking almost 3 hours due to the fact that the lighting was much more difficult to set up than we anticipated, … Continue reading Posing

This past Friday was exactly what I needed. One of my photo friends Savannah hit me up asking me if I could model for her. She wanted to take detail shots of shoes and accessories, while also grabbing a couple quick portraits. I brought my camera along too and it ended up being a day full of creativity. It was nice getting out of the … Continue reading Personal Time

The last couple of months I have been wanting to rebrand myself and after the business card assignment, I knew it was time. So, I decided the first thing to do should be get a new logo. I reached out to one of my favorite artists on Instagram, Justin House, who mainly creates traditional tattoo styled art. After a few days he got back to … Continue reading My New Logo

For us portrait kids, our first assignment of the semester was “Open-ish”. We had a total of five pictures to submit and two of them could be whatever pose, expression, or lighting we wanted. I reached out to my photographer friend Savannah who just moved to the state to see if she would be willing to come sit and model for me. Although, she did … Continue reading Open- ish
