Random Fun

The other day I had a chance to get out and go take some nature pictures!! (finally) My passion for photography came from spending time in nature and photographing its beauty.

Just a little shoot I did the other day in my basement.

Professional models In the studio!

Yesterday in studio class we had a bunch of models from Angie's Models and Talent International come in. It was a pretty crazy experience. First we had to pick the model we wanted from a line of models and that in it's self is a pretty weird experience. After we pick the model that we wanted, we had to tell them what to wear. This didn't really apply for my shot because I was going more for a face shot. After that, we bring the model to our set and start taking the pictures. The one thing I didn't like about this workshop was the time constraint we had on this. Since there is so many students and such little amount of space and time for taking pictures, I was only able to take 5 shots. I kinda got what I was going for, but I wish I had more time to get exactly what I wanted.

The overall experience of this workshop was awesome. It's amazing how much easier it is to shoot with models then just random people who have no modeling experience. You tell the model what to do and they do it perfectly. I will for sure start shooting with models a lot more now.

Here is the raw image. I will post the final image soon!

Climbing

Ever since I've started climbing i've always wanted to photograph it, but every time we get to the boulders I always just end up climbing the whole time. When I realize that I haven't taken any pictures we are to pooched to climb anymore. This summer I plan to do a lot more climbing photography and submit some to Gripped magazine and hopefully get published. I know I need to improve my angles and my composition but that comes with doing it. It's actually pretty challenging getting a good shot.

Here are some photo's I took this past summer. Their not that great but I still like them!

Books

Here are some books that lay around my house. This is only a couple of them, we must have hundreds. There is so many that we don't have enough shelves to fit them all. I have only read a couple of them from this pile, but plan to read them all some day.

The reason why I took this picture is for two reasons. I really like the lighting on them that was coming from a nearby window. The second reason is it's such a diverse pile of books. There are so many different styles of books. It makes me think of humanity and how if you put a bunch of people into a pile there would be so many different styles of people no one would be the same.

New Self Portrait

One of the Assignments is my final portfolio is a self-portrait for the prelim I shot a black and white one. I decided to redo it for my final portfolio. I like the lighting a lot more and the feel of the new one. Also there is no clipping in the new one and there is color which is nice.
