photo studio 1 + 2: 2010

b a k e r y, part 2

These are my second attempts at a bakery at Cocoa Locale in the plateau. I'm not as happy with these as my first batch of images. The store was tiny so there wasn't too much space to move around, and it was so colourful and busy that black and white does not really do the place justice. But here they are! She was very sweet.

-----------------------------

I've decided to post a few images in color, just to get an idea of the really cool environment they were actually shot in :)

Yuki Cafe on Sherbrooke Street

I really like how these images turned out, although I really wanted to shoot a roll of film to really have an authentic feel to the photos. However, there are not enough hours in one day. I might go back on Thursday and shoot some more, and maybe hit up a barbershop or fish market on the same street :)

camera works: stop motion video

everyone should click the video to watch it in a different window, so that it's not cut off

I like the last two looks the best, the window lighting look is really pretty! :)

GUEST PORTRAIT

classic shot: broad lighting, 5:1

creative: experimenting with color gels

I'm not sure how I feel about these color gels. I'm torn between pretty or cheesy. Oh well.

painting gerberas with light

For our flower assignment I decided to use the painting with light technique we learned in class last week. The technique gave me the effect I wanted for these images, but I am not entirely satisfied with the results. (I'm excited to start doing studio portraits).
