last 2 self-promos

these were my last 2 self promos, 5 & 6 in early october, i just haven't posted them yet.

anyhow. both of them were illustrations/conceptual.

self promo #5.. It was supposed to be a fall type thing, but it wasn't me, so i found some toothpicks, that i wish were pins and had some fun. and i like it. shot it with the phaseone back on haaselblad at school in the studio with broncolor lights. a soft box and background lights.

self-promo #6. conceptual as well. Say anthing's song "chia-like, i shall grow" inspired me for this photo, i am very pleased with how it came out. I saw it in my head, there is a line in the song that is "..like a photograph that bleeds.." and that is how i saw it and i'm so happy i was able to peel it out my brain, thru my eyes thru a camera and get it out how i wanted.
i shot it in 2 hours. at my apt, with a soft box as the background and light up really high in the front. I used a d100 with a 24-85mm lens.


Sorry its been a while til i've posted these, I was debating on whether i wanted to. I am very happy with #6. It is my favorite and i'm proud of myself that i could get it out of my head like i wanted, that doesn't always happen.
anyhow.

I miss all you biomed, photojourn and portrait kids! I can't wait to get back to school in Jan.
hope everyone is doing well.

Let me know whatcha think!

Self promo #1&2

these are two shots that I did for my two self promo assignments.

they are photoshopped quite a bit, but i like them. i am pretty happy with the results. i just wish i didnt have to photoshop as much.. the first had more photoshopping involved than the second.
self promo #1. its an illustration. or conceptual. can be used for anything - great for stock. shot in the studio with broncolor strobes two. on each side. ISO 320. f/16 @ 1/90. 24mm. (d100) I reallly HAD to photoshop this to get the look I wanted, and i added that slight green cast because i have a slight obcession with green. ha. who knew?



self promo #2. snow peas. food photography. stock. anything. food magazines, recipes. i LOVE food photography. shot at my apartment with alien bees, and a soft box and a d100, at f/16 @ 1/45sec. at 35mm.

both of these were shot with a D100. with a 24-85mm lens.

I like them, I dont like how much I'm now having to photoshop. its weird to do that when coming from straight film and so traditional. I like it buts it going to have to take some getting use to and I don't wanna fall into that "oh, that! i'll fix it in photoshop" I don't want to be that person, but time constraints kind of force more photoshoppin than i'd like to be doing. but any how.

let me know what you think bout my fotos! <3>
