Self Portrait at Sunken City

Walked around at the ruins of Sunken City to scout some locations the other day. Added my awkward self for perspective. 

Orange Couch and America

Messing around with my flash and exploring the lighting possibilities of it with some simple accessories. This was shot using the flash above the camera with aluminum foil wrapped around the flash and shaped into a skinnier, more focus beam of light. I'm pretty happy with the way this turned out with such minimal equipment. Might just even use this for a bio picture for my new website that I'm building.

Stress

This is the first photo of a new series im going to be working on for the next month or so. I've recently been going through some rough couple of weeks and plus the added stress of graduating college soon and uncertain plans for the future. I'm actually really happy how this photograph turned out. The lighting is just beautiful in my opinion

Hit Me #2

Hit Me

This is from a dramatic lighting assignment for my studio class. The idea I decided on (or peer pressured into by my great friends) was to take a punch to the face. I came to this idea through a lot of deliberation and self reflection. I am nearing the end of my college days and the real world is fast approaching, therefore my mindset hasn't been the most anxious free. I decided that in order to prepare myself this upcoming challenge and to stay motivated, I had to get over the fear of failure or uncertainty. In order to succeed you have to get over that negativity and believe in your strengths. Allow failure to humble you but don't let it break you. For this photo I willingly allowed my friend to punch me as hard as she could in the face. This is taken about five seconds after the hit. Sure it hurt but its not the end of the world. More photos and video evidence to come soon.

Sometimes I feel like I'm a seal...
