Dani

Funny thing happens if you point a camera at people, they usually try to hide. Why? Well most of us think we aren't photogenic. I would like to prove everyone wrong. I think anybody can look good in a photograph. Thanks Dani for letting me do some portraits of you in the studio, you're great!

Tim

Thank you to Tim for coming into the studio for a few shots. Tim knows how to golf, I know how to photograph. It's just to bad that it snowed yesterday we could have done these shots out on the golf course instead.

Competitive Football

A couple of my brother-in-law's are playing on the competitive football league this year at BYU-I. I got some cool shots last year during some of the games. This year I hope to get some more. The white uniforms are perfect for some high key photos.

Finals

Once again the semester is finished! Here are a few shots that I turned in with my final portfolios.

Texture Assignment

Just finished up an assignment dealing with texture in my Intro to Studio Lighting class this week. I grabbed a potted plant that the Elders Quorum gave to Kate for Mother's day and some potting soil for my shots. A fellow class mate had brought some wood for his shots and I asked if I could use it for mine. He said yes and the shots turned out better than I thought they would.


This photo and the one below are dealing with our artistic interpretation of shadow. So which should I turn in the one above with a soft shadow or the one below with a very sharp hard shadow.

Studio Portraits

One of the three photo classes I am in right now is called Intro to Studio Lighting and I am learning alot! Most of our shots have been done on a mannequin head named Twiggy. A few of them have been done with live people. Here is what I have done in there so far. Each of them were shot to accomplish very specific modeling and lighting techniques we are learning about.
