Perfume

Wow,

20 days, how can they go by so quickly. I know, this is unacceptable, I will try to be more disciplined. This is an ad for my studio class. I was really pumped for this ad, and I am very ahppy of how it turned out. Thanks to my model (Mandy) and my makeup artist (Danielle), for such a great job.

More posts this week I promise! I am working on some great assignments this week, and I cant wait to post them, keep checking back!

Mush-a-boom

A beginning of a new month! November is officially here, and 53 days until Christmas, UNbelievable.

Sorry a that over a week has gone by and I haven't posted. This is an assignment that I will be handing in tomorrow morning. I am pretty happy with it, we will see how it holds up under critique tomorrow.

Our assignment was to create a still life, demonstrating the role of digital imaging as a tool. I felt kind of out of my element going with a space theme, but I am glad that I decided to not resort to a typical feel that I have in my images.

Cosmetics

For our latest studio assignment we were to design and create a cosmetic ad. This is not an offical "Covergirl" ad, we were instructed to put the branding on the image. We had to shoot the product and model. I am really happy how this turned out. Thank you to my model (Liz) and make up artist (Vanessa) for making this look as good as it does!

Self Portrait

Here is another assignment we had for photoshop. Now it was a self portrait, but we had to be an actor, symbolizing, or being someone else.

I chose to symbolize our culture.

Here is what I said when I presented it:

I am supposed to represent our culture and how we thrive on things like lust, selfishness, and other sins. It is so prevalent in all the advertisements around us. (side note: For example, jean ads are so sexual, because companies are trying to condition us to relate their brand of jeans to sexual pleasure. As for selfishness - all advertisements are geared toward bettering your own life, not bettering a community, hence we gorge ourselves with clothes, food, and entertainment, rather than solving world hunger, or giving a homeless person clothes). The TV is supposed to symbolize those things. We hold onto those things because we like them and how they make us feel - but in reality, they hold onto us even tighter. We think we get fulfillment out of them, but really what they are doing is sucking everything out of us. That is why there are nails in my other hand, symbolizing Christ. He has given us freedom from thses sins, if only we would embrace and hold onto him.

Basically we have two choices. There is a battle going on around us everyday, and victory is in the hand that we do not grip.

Thanks for reading guys, I really appreciate it! more posts to come soon!

Time To Say Goodbye

Alright!

Here is my first sample of an assignment that I am handing in Tomorrow. I really dont like posting things on the web before I hand them in, but I caved in this time. This image is supposed to coincide with the classic song: "Time To Say Goodbye". It's supposed to be an album artwork for the song. Chris Botti sings this version. So play the song below, while viewing the image and let me know what you think!!

Have a memorable and impactful week everyone.

Fascination for Trees

Holla!

Alright, so like it or not, I have this huge fascination for trees, not just any kind of trees, dead ones!

Just think about those branches and what they've seen!

The torrential storms that shed it's leaves, the endless heat that it endured, the homes that it provided, the revival of spring rains, the gallons of water nourishing it's roots as it stretched to the sky, the beauty of blue serene winter nights as snow fell and rested on it.

and here it is, at the end of its life....bare,

yet still a witness and a participant of creation.

Elephant Hands

Hey Guys! This past week has been soo busy. I was visiting a friend a couple weeks ago and I decided to take a few pictures in his house. I couldn't resist. He definitely has an eye for interior decorating. I loved this elephant and clock beside each other. I know that the hands are out of place, but I like.

Have a great week everyone, and check back in a few days!
