I went to the fair this past weekend it was the last day of the fair I was shooting for a feature for photojournalism. I got to talk to a lot of interesting people and got some good pictures.
Low Key
Yesterday I had to photograph a low key assignment in the studio. I had a lot of fun shooting this and I think my teacher is happy with the results. The above pictures is of my fellow classmate William Twitty and a contact sheet I made for Mrs. Harkins
Possible Internship.
Its a ways off but not to soon to start thinking about who would I want to intern with. I have always liked concerts and musicians, I stubbed upon Danny Clinch about a year ago and i really like his work he is based out of New York so if he will let me intern with him then I would be going to New York. the above pictures are of Tom Waits and Bruce Springfiled.http://www.dannyclinch.com
Shooting in the studio tomarow
portraiture low key shoot tomorrow, low key photography is when most of your subject or set is black. It gives your subject mater a mysterious feel. I am really siked about this shoot I think it should go well.
Jerry Uelsmann.
Uelsmann was a huge inspiration to me when I first got in to photography I really like the dream like feel he evokes. The interesting thing about him is he was doing modern day compositing in the darkroom! He is pritty remarkable. Here is a link to his websitehttp://www.uelsmann.com/
Canon Turns 51!
Canon is throwing a big celebration to celebrate 50 years of camera making. This info comes from Canon Australia The event on the 20th of October in Australia is to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Canon SLR’s. I can’t think of a better way to start of 51 than with a new camera. I think that this is interesting because on http://www.canonrumors.com/ they have rumors speculating the release of two new cameras but the one everyone is talking about is 1d mark 4, this next week might be pretty exciting for canon users !
