Hurrell Lighting Assignment

Long term project

Portrait Portfolio

Word Salad!!!

This was a project for my digital imaging class. I photographed each element individually then pen tooled it out. I used a Wacom tablet to sketch out everything else.

Dangerous Landscape...

This is one of my potential portfolio shots for my Bio-Object class. One of our shots has to be of metal, so I decided to make a landscape out of knives and a gear sun.

Ash Jar...

Cigarette butts, water, jar, red background, vivitar.

group photo!!!

For our portrait class we all took turns posing the rest of the class members... this was mine.

Glass Assignment

In our Bio-Object class we have to do a light-field and dark-field shot of some glass. I decided to throw a few gels on it to see what I can do, I also tried to capture the red cross symbol in the water droplets, I will reshoot the red cross ( I needed to print it bigger )

Long Line Pose Project

These are some silhouettes for our portrait class. Thanks for modeling Darlene!

Some paintings...

These are some of my old paintings, I still have most of them...

Bio-Object: Chocolate Assignment

Yet another object lighting class... about chocolate. A single overhead soft light, chocolate covered in vegetable oil. The fork is covered in "magic shell" covered in veggie oil.

Veggies!!

This was an assignment for our object lighting class. I used a farrell light overtop and slightly behind then filled in the front with a lightgun. It took a bit to get the specularity out of the glass but it worked out.

Cell phone project

A new pair of glasses.

For our Bio-Object class we explored downtown Asheboro. We were given two hours and free range across town to pull abstract images from the landscape. The general goal was to see Asheboro in small pieces that most wouldn't see.
