practice

Since my final project for studio will be in black and white as usual, but i will be editing them digitally i thought i would start to practice a little, here is some of my work from last year in photo II. There will probably be more, as well as postings for my final project as it progresses and other photo's from this semester.

final proposals for fall semester

So its that time of the year again, final proposals for my photo classes, i pretty much know what im doing for studio. i decided that what i really wanted to do is to take a break on the extremely conceptual work that is whats normally thought to be what is expected of us and focus strictly technique and ability with lighting, light metering, composition, and over all learn how to use a 4x5 view camera properly. so i have decided to do pretty normal portraits of people in the studio using what i think suits them best for each different personality in terms of props, lighting and positioning. i think i have decided to print digitally this semester for the reason that i despise dust on my prints and know that while i love the darkroom it is not as effective with producing spotless prints that are dust free and alot of other things that go with the advantages of printing digitally.

as for digital one....im not sure yet, but i will let you know when i do

DIgital I, Me times Three.

This was my first real digital project where i had to use real photoshop skills i am satisfied with the results now but i think i could do better so i think there will definitely be more to come.
