Final Project last quarter

 

These were a few photo's I took for my final project last quarter-just found them. I did it in my old basement with a beauty dish, very simple but pretty. My teacher felt it was too "dark" lol but I got my inspiration from americas next top model where they did different death scenes...

Portrait

This is my first shoot ever at RIT, it was the first project which was taking someone from class and doing a portrait of them. I found them earlier and decided to posted them since I didn't have the blog when I took these! I still love them...:)

The triptych

Ok...so this is my triptych....very simple...but I like it. Not much else to say about this one.

"Make the Rink Pink!"

So this weekend I went to the "make the rink pink" event which raises money for breast cancer. I think it was an awesome idea to get people together to go iceskating and it was for a great cause. There was also freeeee hot chocolate which was my favortie. It was a good experience and it had a great turn out I have never seen that many people at the RIT ice rink the whole time I have been here ( which has only been 3 months) but still. :) 

-Good idea-good cause-lots of fun :)

The 4X5

 Soooo I finally completed my 4X5 project, which took FOREVER. This is one of the two scenes I shot which was a cream cheese cake with rasberries and a glass of milk. Thank goodness my pals Natonyia Nelson and Alyssa Bunzey were there to help! Chris Snyder  was there doing his project also which im sure came out awesome he did these delicious looking donuts and this big yummy lollipop. I actually liked doing the project after I got the hang of it. This picture is actually from my camera phone but pretty much showing what I took a picture of, I have to actually bring my film to the lab tomorrow to get in processed but overall I think the assignment was a success. I really enjoyed doing it after everything was said and done. Im not sure if I will do it again in the future becasue of the $ but lets keep and open mind....haha. But I had alot of fun with the pals dancing and having a good time while getting the project done, note for the future: most definately bring music and a great attitude to shoots, it will make the process so much better.

FINAL look at the Narrative...

So I finished the narrative and I put all 12 pictures onto one contact sheet, instead of listing each one separately. For the project we actually had to print two to a page which looks really nice but took up alot of space. Basically the narrative consists of the steps "Kevin"uses to shave, first putting the shaving cream on, then shaving, then wetting his face and taking a glance in the mirror to make sure he got everything perfect. The story itself isn't that interesting but I think the photos came out really cool, I also chose black and white because the tungsten lights made his skin very orange and it is hard to print. But I think black and white makes it look more original and gives the pictures more drama then there was.

Preview of Narrative Project

"A Close Shave"

I decied to do a short narrative about "a close shave" becasue I thought that it would be an interesting topic becasue not many people think of a narrative being someone shaving their face. But my pictures show different expressions, and different positions that one takes to shave their face, which can be quite funny. I also havent decided whether to keep the series in color or change it to B&W and this is just one picture of the series I will post the final up later.
