New Portrait

BE :: Maybelline Color Tattoo

For a majority of our grade in Chucks class we were partnered up with a graphic design student, and had to come up with a campaign for a product or service. I got to work with the fabulously talented Courtney Bortree. We decided to use Maybelline's Color Tattoo eye shadow. For the campaign we came up with the tag line BE. The project required us to have 3 different types of media plus a 15 second commercial that you can view here. The first 8 images are an 8 page booklet, like one that would go in a magazine. The last two are a magazine ad and a poster (in that order). I was in charge of the photography/video, and the post processing. Courtney was in charge of the layout and design. It was great working with her and I'm very happy with how it turned out. A big thanks to Chelsea Sullivan and Jamie Hayden for modeling!

A Day in the Life :: Grampy Edition

For our multimedia class we were required to find someone that would let us film their daily activities. I used Shana's Grandfather (Grampy). Big shout out to Grampy for letting me use him! This is both of Shana's grandparents; Grampy's on the left. To watch the video click here.

Composite

This is an assignment were we had to take a portrait of someone, and  a separate background image and put them together to make one image. I worked with the lovely Shana Jarrett, and this is what I ended up with, plus one 'cause we were having fun.

Self promo 3 & 4

For our next self promos, I wanted to try and work with a person. The idea was basically a glamour / beauty shot. The expression isn't quite there yet, but I feel it was a good start. For the other promo I wanted to work with smoke. I bounced around a lot on how I wanted to do it, and I ended up on a product type shot of incense.

New Self Portrait

One of the first assignments we were given in my digital class was to shoot a self portrait of ourselves. I decided to re do it, and try to show some more of my personality in the process.

Something New

For the portfolio for John I decided to try something new, and this is some of what I came up with.

Grede

For our industry assignment I shot at Grede in Biscoe NC.

America!

This is Phil, from the fourth of July game at the copperhead stadium. I feel he represents America pretty good.

We Were Framed!

Yeah, I know... Cheesy title. What's life if you can't keep it fun, right?

The top was for our framing assignment. This was the first one that I turned in, but because of its lack of a person, and the same problem with many others, we were able to reshoot to get a better grade.

The bottom is the final image that I ended up turning in. I think it works a lot better than Taz, even though he's adorable.

Childhood Angst

This was our parks and recreations assignment. I went to one of the parks in Asheboro, and found this little girl swinging. She was getting pretty tired, and I think she was a little upset about her grandmother giving me permission to photograph her. She was adorable tho.

On the Road Again

Taking pictures of roads isn't exactly all that exciting, but we found a way to make it fun.

Stranger

For our first weekly assignment for Jay, we had to photograph a stranger and try to get expression in the eyes. The first is Laymen, taken in downtown Greensboro. The second is James, taken in downtown Asheboro.

Crazy Business

This was an assignment where we had to shoot a self portrait with no assistance from another person. We had to set a self timer on the camera and get into position. It was a little crazy, and I kept getting weird looks from my neighbor. I even got bit by a tick in the process.
