Babybump

My brother and sister-in-law are expecting their first child on January 12, and here is a sneak peek of Jessica's session.  Let me know what you think!

Make-up

As I was doing my make-up one morning, I decided I wanted to shoot it for my object lighting class.  Here is what I came up with for the photoshoot.

Canon 40D
f/8 @ 1/60 sec
ISO 200
Focal Length:  135mm

I've lost my marbles

For my biocomm object lighting class, we had to shoot a glass object.  I wanted to do something different, so I grabbed a glass head my sister uses to put hats to shoot. 

Canon 40D
f/5.6 @ 1/20 sec
ISO 200
40 mm focal length

Jewelry

My sister-in-law's mother makes jewelry and she made me a piece that I fell in love with.  I wanted to photograph it showing the depth and dimension.  Here is the shot I chose to go with.

Peppermint Sticks

For my bio-comm object lighting class, we were asked to shoot something edible.  I wanted to use peppermint sticks, so I traveled to Lexington to go to the candy shop, where I not only found the peppermint sticks, but also some other goodies.  Here is the shot I decided to use.

Fall

I love this time of year because of the beautiful colors.  Here is a shot I took in China Grove, NC.

Chocolate vs. Fruit

In my bio-comm object lighting class we had to photograph chocolate and have it portray being healthy.  I decided to shoot chocolate vs. fruit on a scale, showing that chocolate is better for you.  I wanted the concept to be very clean and simple.  This is the shot I decided to go with.  Let me know what you think.

Canon 40D
f/22 @ 1/60 sec

A Day at the Vineyard

Each week in my bio-comm photojournalism class I had to shoot a 3 picture package and build a layout using Indesign.  I went to Rocky River Vineyards in Midland, NC to shoot this layout and was pleased with the images I shot.

Panoramic

For my digital imaging class, we had to shoot a 180 degree panoramic.  I went to Pfeiffer University in Richfield, NC because I knew the leaves would look very nice in the reflection of the water.

Fuji

I recently got a new puppy, Fuji, who of course had to have a name related to photography.  While I was at a park shooting my panoramic shot for my digital imaging class I let Fuji run around, and here is a shot I got while she was being still for a few seconds.

Water Assignment

In my bio-comm object lighting class we had to shoot an assignment with water.  I tried several different setups and objects, but ending up going with an apple, a colorful plate, and a kitchen faucet.  Thanks to Drew for being patient with me for 2 hours, while I was trying to get the perfect shot.  Here is my favorite from the session.

I also used some filters in photoshop and came up with this alternate image.

Here is a different crop of the above image.  Which do you like best?

East Coast Bat Company

My older brother, Derek, owns his own wood bat making company called East Coast Bat Company.  He was recently updating his website and needed some new photos.  Here are a few I took.  Be sure to visit his new website,  East Coast Bat Company.

Bi-Polar Pharm Shoot

In my biocomm object lighting class, I had to shoot a pharmaceutical that told the view how they are to feel about the drug.  I used lorazepam, which is a prescription drug used to treat bi-polar disorder, and I wanted my viewer to see that when using this drug you no longer have a feeling of darkness.  The second shot depicts how a person feels tired and out of it when they are no longer taking the drug.

 Canon 40D
Alien Bee
28-135mm lens
f/11 @ 1/250

Self Portrait

For my digital imaging class we were given an assignment to shoot a self portrait.  This is the photo I decided to use because I think it represents who I am as a person very well, and I like the split lighting as well.  It was shot with my Canon 40D, 28-135 mm lens at f/4.5 @ 1/125 second.  I also used an alien bee with an umbrella and a remote control.

This was my second favorite shot from the session.

Here are several shots of my set-up.

Trent & Michelle

My cousin Trent and his girlfriend Michelle wanted some cute pictures taken of them when she was in town from Florida.  Here are a few of my favorite shots from the session.  They were awesome to work with and a lot of fun!

During my small format class, we took a field trip to an air museum. We had to properly light the planes and shoot pictures for the museum.

I had to shoot a product using only available light during the day, so I decided to shoot Bud Light Lime.

Below are some random photos I've taken...let me know what you think!
