Another assignment...but cooler

 So our assignment in photo 1 was to find a famous photographer and one of their pictures and then either copy it or interpret it. I had a lot of fun with this shoot. I called my friend Kasey, (the girl I shot bridals and her wedding this summer) and then found some pictures I wanted to copy.

 Edward Steichen

 Irving Penn

Irving Penn

This is my interpretation of the photograph with the black girl. Since Kasey is not black and is blond even, I did things a little different. White background and really overexposed.

This was when I was shooting the lace one, but Kasey just looked so regal and I had to shoot this one. It reminds me of Girl with a Pearl Earring by Vermeer...which is cool because he's one of my favorite painters...

So this is my interpretation of the lace photo by Steichan. It was kind of creepy, but cool. Oh, the turban...totally Kasey's goucho pants. That is why it's so bulky, haha

The original picture is of Gisele, so I think Kasey did a pretty good job considering she's not a supermodel! 

I had a lot of fun with this shoot. I had no idea what I was doing, and I've never done anything like this before, EVER. It was a good learning experience.

blah blah blah

I really have no desire to blog right now, but I don't want to let it go weeks and weeks without blogging. Real life just sucks sometimes, you know? Dealing with very troubled family members tends to take it out of you. I don't even know what it's like to have free time any more. So here are some more assignment photo's. I wasn't feeling these two assignments that much. I loved my color photo's and my abstract and conceptual photo's, but these ones just were kind of blah...oh well, here you go and you can be the judge!

This bottom one is from a previous assignment, I just have never posted it and I like it a lot...

Color...

I swear this blog is turning into my assignment blog, but I have no time to even experience anything else in life. Basically I go to school, shoot assignments or commissions, edit said pictures, work, tend to family drama, and if I have any time left I read or watch tv or maybe even hang out with friends. I have no life, but hey! at least there are pictures, right?

And before you ask, no I don't have a studio. This is what you get with color foam board, a table, my porch, and photoshopping out the line. Fun times...

Matthew, Camille, and Cooper...

Just posted some more family pictures on my photo blog...go here. They are of my old boss, Matthew, and his family. Love them!! (the family...well, and the pictures, too)
