My first client for this Senior year was Brent Lindsey (I photographed his older brother Shane for my portfolio).  We did a lot of studio stuff, but i think they turned out awesome!  I chose so many in my first round of edits that i have to go back through twice to narrow it down even more.  Just going to post of few of my faves.

This shoot was a lot of fun, and i got to mess around with a few different lighting set ups.  I think i got a real good variety in the images so that makes me really happy.  I think i will doe one of my viewing books from this session to show clients.

It also felt really good to pick up my camera and shoot again, it was going on 3 weeks.  And i had a great model to work with, and that always makes a shoot better.

Thanks Brent!

It's been a long road

With all the moving and organizing i haven't had any time to post....anything lol.  But finally everything is done...kinda. lol.  I have most of my office done and i have my studio set up in our garage.  Booking a few jobs here and there, and i'm starting my ad coordinator job at the Credit Union soon.  Also I turn 22 in 2 more days, birthdays are no longer fun lol, and my best friend Matt turns 21 in 5 days!

Besides missing SB horribly and all my Brooks friends and family, i am slowly readjusting to life in the Ville (however short of time i might be here). Anyways i got some film processed right before i left SB so i wanted to share that before my next post so enjoy!

Willie was wondering around in the field taking some pics.

My favorite location...ever...

Some more willie.

This guy was in front for me at Santa Monica when Kate and i moved some of her stuff down.

Dan and Kate...it was right after the moment...i'm excellent at missing moments, i think i'll make it a trade mark of mine.

The Final video for my class.  It's our best 20 and i added some other images to it as well.  It's not exactly what i had envisioned, but i still think it's ok.

The last 7 Days

The last week of school begins today.  It's bittersweet.  

Just wanted to post some inspiration and an image from last week.

So the song Cosmic Love by Florence and the Machine has been some awesome inspiration lately.

And while helping Kate move to Silver Lake I discovered the work of August Bradley...it was amazing.

Last Brooks Assignment

So for my last Brooks assignment (I don't really count the Turkey shoot as an assignment) we were suppose to photograph a bride and groom in a church. Well i didn't really follow the assignment at all.  I took Willie (my trusted model number 1) and Kate (trusted model number 2) to the Santa Barbara court house....during fiesta....while it's being renovated because of a fire that happened in January.  Yeah biggest waste of time ever LOL.  But i got a few good things out of it, nothing that really goes with the assignment, but at this point i fail to care anymore LOL.

We are suppose to have 10m images for the assignment....this is gonna be a rough crit hahaha.

Final images of Brianna and Brooks

So as the session hits the midway point my Wedding class has peaked with the assignments i am gonna try on lol.  My final two assignments are a church bride and groom (which i am just going to have fun with and not be serious at all) and the Turkey shoot where we shoot our instructor Tim and his beautiful wife.

For our last assignment we had to shoot a Bride and Groom in studio.  I LOVE how the image of Brooks turned out in this one; one of my all time favorites. 

I would like to thank Bri and Brooks for all the modeling they have done for me this session, I do not know what i would have done without you both!

It's week 4

oh week 4...only 3 more till graduation....

So when i woke up this morning i continued on some retouching work for my next assignment in class.  When i was done i sat back for a minute and looked at my desktop...

I have so much on here right now...my assignments, graduation images, Tawni's wedding album pages and images, Christina's wedding images, inspirational images, screen grabs of random things, there was a paper profile, and just a bunch of other stuff.  It's a fairly accurate representation of how crazy life is right now lol.

So tonight i need to back all this up onto my hard drive...it may take all night LOL.
