ART 163: Spring has Sprung

Yes, lame generic title, but whatever.

We went out on campus today shooting during my photo class looking for images that embody "spring." This is what I came up with (15 pictures).

Yay springtime!

I'll edit this later, for now I am just getting these pictures in here:

Until then.

ART 163: Photo Essay Revisited

Well, here we are again, it's always such a pleasure.

Apparently our professor wasn't happy with our attempt at "photo essay" last time, so here is our retry. Here are the two series', of course without any text, since if you need to explain it with words, it isn't a "photo essay."

I think I'll call this series "parallel."

Go make some new disaster.

ART 163: Portraiture.

Well, I haven't updated this blog since before Spring break. I guess I was just doing too much over break to have enough time to update anything, though I have content to update it with (and plenty).

Now, for this assignment, we were supposed to do portraiture, but I decided to go in a bit different direction than the normal "studio" portraiture (as big of a fan as I am of that style).

 We started off inside, because it was snowing pretty fiercely outside. But the pictures weren't quite coming out the way that I wanted, so out of around 45 pictures, only these two (left and below) turned out to be worth saving.

I was trying to get some sort of condensed light from the light umbrella, yet I really need a new, more powerful flash to really get what I want.

These two are very similar, yet I couldn't decide between the two of them, because they are so ... intense. In the zoomed in image you can see a lot of snow caking on her face and eyebrows. I am very thankful to her for dealing with the below freezing, very fast wind conditions.








And now what I think to be the best of the photoshoot.
 

 

This one gives a great sense of how intense the wind really was. Because of the front-curtained  flash (look it up if you don't know what that is, it is a really interesting property of flash units). You can really see the vortices in the snow, how it was flowing around the model. All in all I would say an extremely successful photoshoot, though I only got 5 pictures out of it.

Excellent.
