"Summer Days are Gone Too Soon.."

So, it's September again.. well, the end of September at this point. I've been going insane between working, school work, and PFA I haven't had much time for photographic anything.

With the exception of today.

I know, Pinterest is such a fad and everybody gets their ideas from there, but I saw a picture that inspired me to do some eye layering edits. So I'm going include some of those, along with some of the other things I've been working on, insignificant as they may be.

This was my first attempt at eye layering, and I liked the result, but I felt like it was kind of.. evil looking. Just one red flower in the eye, I don't know.

 

So, I tried again, including the bouquet in the pupil, and I'm a lot happier with it. I really like it. (:  PS: My boyfriend gave me those flowers, and I took the picture of my eye myself. Score!

 A couple weeks ago we went to the beach. It was cold and it rained. We had fun anyway. (:

Sunshine and Summertime

I was bored this afternoon and hadn't done a model shoot in a while, so my sister and I went to work. (:

















I had had a few posing ideas and editing ideas I'd been wanting to try out, so this shoot was the perfect opportunity. The time of day was less than ideal, but the bright sun actually worked to my advantage.

I shot these all completely manually and in RAW.

I'm a firm believer that RAW files are the only way to shoot. (:

Environmental Portraits Round 2

So, here are some more of my environmental portraits that I've been shooting for this assignment. I didn't get do all the things I would have liked to for the assignment, but I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out.

There are so many things around me that I never really see until I look through my viewfinder.

What always attracts my eye is the color, once I look through my viewfinder I see the composition, or get an idea for the composition. I love the photography process.

Sorry if blogger is doing dumb things with my pictures. It messes with quality sometimes.

I'm in love with the pop of blue from his shirt in the monotonous yellows and browns.

Lines. Horizontal, parallel lines. All different colors. That's all I can see in this.
This was an attempt at a self-portrait environmental portrait. I'm pretty psyched with the way it came out.

Environmental Portraits/ Photo Journalism

For my latest photo assignment, we have to shoot environmental portraits/street photography/photo journalism. So here's what I've been up to. (: I need to do some more shooting, but this is what I have so far.
This is the series I shot for the photo journalism. This will be accompanied by an article about "Ross the Mountain Man".

Snow Day!

I'm back!

I realize, I haven't blogged in almost a month, but
I've been busy.

So to make up for it, here are some highlights from a shoot I just did today.

We got a few inches of snow over night, and decided it would be a great day to do a snow photo shoot.
