ROOM SCENES

While I was at Viewpoint I had the chance to shoot a few shots that would actually be published. Both of these shots are from Sherwin Williams. It was a great experience. I had 9 other shots that I did which was also amazing.

Jewelry

We had a jewelry assgnment that we had to shoot with the mamiya leaf back. It was pretty difficult to get up close because of the size of lens that we had so there was a lot of cropping.

Domino Effect

The other day our group had a field trip to Kreber studio and we had to shoot shots of a room scene. We also had to do close up shots which I chose to do the top of the table with dominos. I like the detail in he wood along with the blown out areas.

Breast Cancer Awareness

I shot this picture of a lady who has breast cancer. She was very nice and okay with the fact that I would be shooting her with a little amount of clothes on. I had her wear a pink bra that way it would be more of a breast cancer ad. I think I would have placed her a differen way just because of the fact I could have gotten more of her pink bra.

Bowling Pin

I shot this image while in class for a scavenger hunt. We were assigned 29 different situations and we had to shoot them. The catch was that we had to shoot this ugly bowling pin. Someone had the creativity to paint this pin and then after the years went on it was a paint job gone bad.

Time

I was in the backyard of my grandpas and I was walking around looking at all the junk that he had. Well one mans junk is another mans treasure. It was getting late when I finally saw this rake I thought hey thats a unique look with the prongs having spider webs hanging off of it makes it look old. Well it was actually really old.

Lauren

One day in class we had a model come in and we had the chance to shoot. It was a very fun expeirence. She was a great model and it was fun to say I want you to pose sexy or playful.

Truffle_1

With the truffle I had o do a major photoshop work. The red color in the back was red paper with different size grids to help with the shading.

Indulge

For this semester the class has to do a joint projecet with a few graphic designers. So my partners and I decided to do a little chocolate and gifts store. I shot a few truffles with a glass of coffee to make it have a more home feeling. I wanted to through some color in the image to make it pop a little more.

Pringles

In class one day we had to design a layout for the pringles company. We were the clients and then we had to pass our layouts to another group. While lighting together we tested our photoshop skills and also our techniques on lighting.

Select

Canon : Nikon d70s

With this image I shot it with a small focus area. I used a natural warm light to help bring out the shadows along with the hi-lights. I like the tecture in the metal.

Faded

Camera: Nikon D70s

With this picture, I noticed that the flower said a lot to me. I was walking by and noticed that this flower was just standing up in a horrible garden. So i let the sunlight light it with bringing up the shadows.

Points

Camera: D100

This image was shot when I was trying to shoot macro stuff. I like how the pens have highlights on the tips of them. Also I like how the background goes from light to dark. I used a hot light on the left side shining into the right direction.

While I was walking through the zoo I saw this girl looking at the seals while they were swimming around and she looked amazed. I like how the fact the picture looks like it is in motion because that way it seems like nthing in the world matters but the seals.

Spin

Camera: canon

In this image I was at the fair with my sister in King, North Carolina on the farris wheel at the very top and as we were about to go down I started taking pictures. I had a lot of different shots of this but I actually liked this one better. I like how the stream of lights are very bright and powerful.

Emotion

Camera: nikon d 100

For this image I was just walking around at the zoo and found a underwater area with birds swimming around. The area that these birds were in were pretty dark. I wanted to photograph them and when i realized that I did not have my camera set to the right setttings that it gave me this. So i tried a couple of things and when I was done I came out with a little swirl which is actually the little bird.

Bottle Caps

Camera: Nikon d 100

In this image I wanted to create a fine art piece. I really like how the black contrasts with all the other colors. I want to try to do something different eventually with these but for right now I am pretty hapy with how it turned out.

For this assignment I had to take a picture of a unique character. I used one soft box on the subject with reflectors behind him with two flash strobes on the background. I like the clean white background wich accents his arms and the apple.

Us and Them

Camera: Canon 20D
ISO: 100
F/: 18
Shutter: 200

For this image we had to show a process on how we shot things. The image itself shows many symbolisms as: the softness of the skin equals the birth of the world, the Ying Yang tatoo shows the peace in the world, the other tatoos shows how the world can be a violent place, the American flag shows everything in the world, the man looking down demonstrates how someone is watching us from above.

This is the process on how I shot this image.

For this image decided to shoo upclose with a soft focus in photoshop. I then took the eraser tool to unsoften the parts that i wanted just slight focus on. I shot this for a promo assignment and with all he typical flower shots I decided to try to shoot one just like everyone else.

Mixed Up

Camera: Canon 10D
ISO: 100
F/: 22

In this photograph I was shooting for fashion or should I say a new style. I wanted to do the whole fancy black dress with red converses. The shot actually turned out the way I wanted it with the colors and the contrast. My model was even patient with me as it took me around two hours to finish the shoot; but I guess you get something great when the both of you are shooting for hours and having fun.

This image was taken for a product shot in my lighting class. I actually like this shot except for the fact that i wish it was a little bit brighter or should i say popped more. I think that once I continue learning more stuff then I believe that I will go back and try to do this shot over to see if I have a better outcome. The word that I use to describe this image is refreashing. Hopefully everyone that looks at this will think the same thing.

This is my sisters cat Tabby which I bought for her at this local pet store for $10.00 . When i got him his eyes were a light green with a mix of hazel and then one day they just changed into this beautiful green color. I like this photograph because I think it just draws you in and it reminds me of a mysterious place.

It seems that I find the best pictures when I'm really just walking around and not actually looking for a picture. I saw this beautiful flower while just walking by thinking about which stop I was going to next. I was at the zoo in Asheboro, Nc.

Pam Sayers is a woman of her 40's who is still young and hip. I was walking around one day at our "womens day all day fun all around day" and I caught her and my mom passing around the hoola hoop trying to do what they did best back in their day. It is kind of fun hiding around taking photos of people when they are doing things that they dont want anyone else to see.

This is a photograph that i was trying to do new things to. I use to take pictures of people that were always smiling. I do have to admit that i am actually really proud of this picture. Well that is until someone comes along and says otherwise. No im kidding but I would love to hear what would make this image better or anything else.

This is a photograph that I did one day which is different from everything else I take. I did not do anything special with this one except look at the tractor, look in my camera, and do everything else that would be technical. This picture can explain a different side of me because im definatley a country girl.
