Happy shooting, y'all.

Still Life

I dig it.

I'm also attempting this "sizing" thing... It seems to be working.

The music box, a machine that produces the sounds of life in a simplistic form. Music in simple beauty.

The setup. Not quite as lovely.

The Music Box was created by photographing a small, clear, piano-shaped music box. Lit from beneath and the opposite side, using a light table, strobe and soft box.

A Night Out; Preparation at its finest.

Lit (I think) from below on a light table, with a soft box to the opposite side. I think this is the setup I used... There were lots of variations of more or less the same thing.

420 studio portraits, Assignment 1

420 Studio shots.

Kaitlin Thorne stands in front of the backdrop she painted on Sept. 9 in Central Michigan University's Wightman Hall photo studio.
Kaitlin is an artistic young woman, whose interests range from painting to acting, with everything in between.

Taryn Wattles lies amongst her collection of hundreds of rubber ducks Sept. 14 in Central Michigan University's Wightman Hall photo studio.
"That's the thing I like about ducks ... They can be anyone. They can be a knight in shining armor and save the day, or they can be a cat."

420 in-class studio shoot

In-class studio shoot of our classmates.

Meagan Dullack holds her bright umbrella over her shoulder during an in-class photo shoot for JRN 420, Monday Sept. 12 in Central Michigan University's Wightman Hall photo studio.
Her smile could be the sunshine on Michigan's rainy days.

Personally, this is my favorite because I love tight shots that highlight models' faces and expressions.
I'm a little mad I cut the top of her head off though...
