I decided to reshoot the image I did of Jen. This one turned out SO much better, I think. Portfolio is 3 weeks away, the counting begins.

I had a chance to work with a great friend last week and we had some fun in the studio after the shoot. Here are a few.

It has been a busy month, and its only going to get busier as the school year comes to an end. I have been doing some research on mental health issues to help me better understand so I am able to produce better images for my portfolio. I also recently saw Shutter Island, and it completely blew my mind. I was getting to see how the clinically insane are portrayed in such an intense way. I recommend it. This is an image I was working on for the past week. It's a lot darker than most of the images I've posted so far, but I feel that this better represents what I was going for with my portfolio.

Our next assignment due is the Movie Poster. Seeing how my theme is "Madness/Insanity" I thought that the new Alice in Wonderland, Mad Hatter poster would be quite suitable! I am still working on it because there is still some tweeking and text to add.

We were given an assignment over the holidays to enter a contest for Elevator Digital. The theme was negative space. I decided to use this image for my portfolio as well. I'm going to be using it for my self portrait, because I decided not to use the other one that I had. This one will give my portfolio a better flo because I find it very static right now.

The semester is done!!! I'm not really sure what to do with myself now! I'm going to try and work on my own little projects over the break. This post is my Self Directed piece. My great friend and photographer Jen Allison was kind enough to model for me. It was a lot of fun. I am also posting my Food Layout and my Architecture Layout. I will still be doing some minor tweaking on my images for final portfolio.

I'm done portfolio!! I finish at about 3 am this morning. I am so glad its done. My interview is this friday, so hopefully that goes well! I will be posting a few of my portfolio images this weekend. These two are for my Consumer Portrait. I knew I had to keep the traditional consumer professional looking but to go with my theme I thought of doing the diptych. That way I can express the theme of "Madness/Insanity" without taking away from the portrait itself. I had a great time working with my friend Chris Laalo. He was extremely patient and seemed to have had fun doing it. I look forward to working with him in the future!!
