Final Project: Recreating famous magazine covers(with a little humor)

Here it is, this day is finally here and I'm almost done with this exciting class. My final proposal was to recreate famous magazine covers from the past and present. Luckily for me, my instructor loved the idea and it was exactly what I went with.  I had a lot of fun on this project and the model I had made it all possible. He was more than willing and made my job that much easier. Anyway enough of my ranting and raving here are the images.

Stop Motion Video

Here is the link to my stop motion video that I did. It features a friend of mine who is a 2D Animation major and is very talented in his craft. It was a "quick sketch" he called it but it took over five hundred frames to capture everything. This was my first attempt at creating a stop motion video, as of right now I cant say that I am a fan of the genre but my opinions have been known to change with the tide.

Portraiture

A few images from my Portrait series for my Quality of Light class

Conceptual Word Portrait

Another week another assignment that I get to have fun with. The assignment was to choose a word from a list and then create that feeling or whatever it may be in a portrait. The word I chose was "desire" and I went about in a very simple manner. There are many ways one can portray emotion and feelings in a portait, I went with facial expressions and I'm relying on the viewer to visualize and interpret their own desires. The lovely model is a fellow classmate and she gave off a wonderful feeling with her face after trial and error with direction. I'm really enjoying doing portraiture and can see myself exploring more in this interesting field. 

Illustrative Portrait

Finally, this week I had enough time to get out some good photography. Portraiture, one of my favorite niches in photography was on deck this week. A mix of available light, strobes and full body self portraits are some of the things I explored with this assignent. Enough talking, I'll let the imagery speek for itself.

Childhood Memories pt2

Continuing with more memories, here I have photographed a toy car but with a still life approach. I've always loved cars and I had my share of toy cars but I always stared at them longer than the other kid in the sandbox. Studying the form and curves of the body, this is a tribute to the way I looked at cars and still do to this day.
