a much overdo post. i have been moving, graduating, watching a brother get married, and moving again. not to mention my completing those final classes, including capstone.
i still have some reediting to do on the soundslides, but in the meantime, here’s a glimpse to tide you over. i did my final project on the study of beauty, addiction and body modification.
more to come from the events that made up may of 2008.
old roomie visits are always a treat. thanks for coming down, lady! sorry for the two nights i had to sleep (or not sleep) at the lab.
missing your presence on the futon already.
a new update? believe it. i don’t know how. apologies to everyone who i owe a phone call or email to. it has been a whirlwind since spring break.
BUT taking a trip to dc to tour my future place of employment (unreal!), see friends accept tons of awards and meet new, amazing people was worth every night since that i have spent working until 5 in the morning.
Here are some much overdo pictures from the trip. 18 hours in the car led to many pictures of the same people.
went to do a few headshots in the studio. started out alright–we have two strobes working (out of the 5-6 we used to have). i can at least have a hair light, right? less than halfway through, one dies and i am left with one.
man. rough end of the year for the studio equipment.
meghan petty. fashion extraordinaire (see previous entry).
john tully. no words.
an impromptu on-location shoot for meghan petty’s senior line.
hoping to do a more stylized, storyline-ish shoot soon…
20 minutes in the studio. interesting.
working on a kind of static, but super interesting essay about this tiny town in mid-missouri. following the recommendation of some of my classmates, i decided to check out this HDR technique.
the same morning of the train fiasco (see below), i was still able to catch some nice light and test it out. here are a few of my first attempts, but i am hoping to experiment with it further from here…
so, i woke up at 5:30 (okay, i really got out of bed at 5:50) and made my way over to the small town of Arrow Rock in hot pursuit of some sunrise images for my essay in capstone.
i made it a few miles from my destination only to find seemingly the longest union pacific train blocking my path. so, i got out of the car and shot a few images to make the best of my time.
now, i’m just trying to figure out this hdr stuff. more posts to come…
yesterday was a long work day–10 am until 10 pm. we shot both in the studio and on-location for what seemed like a non-stop day. from a studio in south dallas to the top of a 27-story building, there are plenty of stories from those 12-hours.
i realize that i haven’t explained this fully. for the last two days we have been shooting a rapper, reggie g, for mastaminds records. they will use these images for pr, art for his records, etc. he’s a super nice guy and has been really patient with us. all in all, an awesome two days of shooting!
apologies for the lack of posts. things have been hectic of recent.
so, two nights ago, i got a call from my friend, kyle. he needed some help with art direction and styling on a commercial shoot for a record label down in dallas, texas. despite my extremely busy schedule this week, we booked a flight and planned a two day shoot in a total of 5 hours tuesday night.
here are a few shots taken today:
