Last Friday Night...

I watched Murder She Wrote while editing photos. I know, I'm a wild woman. But at least it was a productive night. Here are the photos I shot and edited yesterday.

I am kinda happy with them. I don't know if the lighting is still too flat.

Here is a photo from last week that I never got around to posting. I call it Midnight Snack (hey if "fine art" photographers get to title their photos so can I).

I am back off to the studio in a few hours to photograph some yummy apple pie. Well I will be photographing the preparation of the pie, then I will take it home and bake it and eat it! If I am feeling like a good student I may photograph the finished product as well with my flashes in my apartment. This reminds me, I need to clean my oven. Last time I tried to bake in it (the cookies in the photo above) it started smoking a bit...

Happy Weekend!!

Annnnnd I'm back!

Now that I am back in school and working on food photography again I thought it would be fun to continue my blog. I will also be posting some cool links and such. One of the girls in my class showed her gifs during class that were really lovely. It reminded me of how important it will be for me to incorporate movement into my body of work. I think that I would rather work with videos than gifs, but I should probably learn both if I can. So hopefully this semester I can learn more about these things!

I turned in my first photos of the semester last week to my commercial assignment class. I think it was an ok start but I have a LONG way to go. A great thing about this class is that people have really jumped into the critiques, I got a lot of good advice.

So here are the photos. I shot in the studio but with only natural lights. My biggest challenge this semester is one that i struggled with last semester as well; how do i take a photo in the studio and give it the same feeling that it would have if I shot it at home?
