FINALLY...its NOT me naked!!!!!

So I finally got the chance to work with models tonight.  I loved being able to see what I was doing a little more and have more control over the whole situation.  I was supposed to have liquid latex with this shoot but I sadly left the metallic tint at home so I just worked a little more with vertical compositions.  Thanks to my beautiful (and flexible) models and I hope you all enjoy!

More Excitement!

So I just had another shoot for my thesis and I have to admit I am really excited now.  I ended up having to do all self portraits again because I couldn't work anything out with my models this weekend but I actually like how these came out.  I have to admit, I messed around with the color a little more than normal but I liked the fire/ice feeling they kind of give off.  These are all shot with my Nikon D5000.  Check them out and let me know what you think!

The Glow Sticks Are BACK!

Soooo at high demand from my senior workshop class I've decided to get back into the glowstick/naked ladies land.  These are all self portraits because I need work for tomorrow's class and I only had myself to use. I'm actually kind of inspired by these which hasn't happened in a while so I'm kind of excited.  Idealistically I will be in charge of painting with the glowsticks while I have a model pose but for now you'll just have to deal with me.  I think I'm having fun again so we'll see where this goes! Enjoy!

More thesis madness....

So after my critique a few weeks ago I am completely all over the place with my thesis.  I have this work I used for my critique which didn't really go over too well.  Now I'm thinking about going back into my glowing figures project and possibly my projection project.  Basically I have no idea what I'm doing anymore and it's driving me crazy!  Senior year is turning out to be more of a challenge than I thought it would be but hopefully my photo shoot tonight will help me figure stuff out.  Anywho, enjoy these photos.  They're all long exposures on my Nikon D5000.  Still self portraits.  Enjoy!

Headshots!

Hello all!

Today I had my first real experience with shooting/editing a professional headshot.  We are doing a fundraiser for my senior class' thesis show shooting headshots for $25 plus $10 for each fully edited photo so if you want one you should let me know!  Anywho, this is Emily Diehl, an amazing opera singer who works with me at Bridget Foy's.  She's already gorgeous so it wasn't hard to work with her but here is the final image, enjoy! 

I'm a SENIOR...What?

So senior year is officially underway and it's some seriously scary shit.  The idea of creating a thesis and following it all the way through to a professional quality exhibition is frightening but somewhat exciting.  For tomorrow's senior workshop we were required to bring in some new work.  I have been in a bit of a rut for a while so it was really hard for me to come up with something.  Hence me shooting my work the night before it's due for a critique.  These are all abstracted nudes (of myself...eep) because I was my only available model.  I imagine these will get a lot better over time but I actually don't hate the way they turned out.  Let me know what you think!

More Glow Sticks

So one of the benefits of being home for a week is that I finally got the chance to stock up on glow sticks.  The dollar store near me had them for a dollar a pack....and lets just say I went a little crazy.  For this weeks assignment for David Graham's class (which I will sadly not be attending due to family problems) we were supposed to re-visit one of our previous projects.  Since I had bought more glow sticks I knew I wanted to play with them...the only downfall was that I did not have an assistant for these ones.  I think they are a little weaker than my last attempt...but I suppose you can't win them all.  So enjoy some more naked Felicia!

First Half of my OFFICIALLY EDITED Dream Series!!!

Hello All!!

So I have been working for weeks on this shoot, torturing many amazing girls by making them lay upside-down on a table basically dangling close to death.  They were all great sports and gave me some beautiful photographs!  These are the final digital edits for this series but as seen in the post a few before this one I am slowly but surely converting them all into Gum Bichromate diptychs.  Let me know what you think!
