Spring

Spring

For this assignment was a challenge. It was still cold in New York City, so they weren’t flowers popping out or not much green. Going to the park and still seeing trees around with no leafs. But people where outside on sunny days but still pretty cold. I saw many eggs around the park, thinking hey its almost Easter, Making me think of spring, so why not. 13548259383_7abfb19fae_m

Midterm

Midterm

For the midterm I wanted to used a Starbucks cup, but it looked pretty boring to photograph. So I drew on it, give it a little flavor to the design. I had pretty fun with this assignment, placing the same object in different backgrounds. In the studio, playing the lighting it gave me pretty nice images have them in black and white. Being outside and using the natural light (the sun) gave me ideas of what the background should be. Not far from school, is the Brooklyn bridge park so why not have in the background have the city of New York.                                                                                                                                               13235179063_2a19c9afda_m 13234750305_9e941d79a4_m

Buy me

Walking macys and what do you mostly see? Perfumes. that what the first thing I thought of. So I found this small bottle of calvin klein. It doesn’t show in the photos but I like to think that how ads are. tricking people in buying the bottle only to see it very small in person. 12920607804_7ccbbe131a_m

childhood

for this assignment, I had tons of toys to pick from (having a younger sister does help) but I had trouble with lighting to change the mood. so most of my photos show more joyful moods. Not that I didn’t like it, just that it gets pretty boring. in the end its about being child, and how a child views the world. 12764164903_3a7853311b_m

rose

for this assignment, I had so many options with a rose. I could use the rose to represent happiness and joyful, love. or represent the opposite. So many ideas came to mind so I went with both. I remember not liking how the photos came out so I kept trying to get the photos “right” at the end of the day, I was still not pleased with the work that came out, but I don’t think they are that bad either. I like to think I tried to show the world what I see when it comes to “love” and it pretty complicated.IMG_0634

shoe

Shoe

for this assignment, I chose to photograph a soccer. I like this shoe because of the colors and the overall the design. all black on top with blue and pink on the bottom, to make it more stand out. With the huge Nike swoosh in the middle. I had pretty fun with photo shoot. Playing around with the lights on different angles gave me great photos in the end. 12420560785_7e0d59cdd4_s

DIY Studio

After hearing about the DIY studio, I was thinking of buying it online or something. I’m thinking how the hell am I going to built this, but as I was thinking its a lot cheaper just making my own than buying one. The first thing was to look for a location for the studio itself, which wasn’t that hard, I had to move some furniture around. Getting the broads was pretty easy but

as I was looking at the items that I need to buy I had no idea what was an a-clamp (but there was a picture next to it.) I was going to go to a hardware store which they also cut wood, think I was going to buy a stick so I can use it as a stand for the light. But then I remember that I have a light stand. I still brought a light clamp just incase. which I feel I have more control of directing the light where I want.

The last thing was the tripod, I couldn’t find my old one so I had to buy at bestbuy, the closet electronic store.

At the end of the day, it all turn out okay. It was a lot easier to make than I thought and I can’t wait to use it.Photo Feb 01, 11 27 48 AM_1
