This was an image taken this current Fall Semester in my Photographic Illustration class for our second Self Proposal Assignment. In this assignment we were allowed to photograph anything of our choosing, as long as we presented the instructor with a sketch of our idea first. Since we were encouraged to photograph something that we would want to show potential clients, I chose a detailed table top set up shot in studio. I am always fascinated by the puzzle of prop placement in a photograph. For this image I wanted to use a lot of small elements, but also allow the image to come across as simple in design.

This is a portrait of my friend and fellow photography student, Joe, taken for my Photographic Illustration class this semester. The assignment was to photograph an editorial head and shoulders business portrait on a solid white background. I chose to light Joe with a shoot through umbrella on a Broncolor Light positioned at camera right, and a large piece of white foam core used as a bounce card at camera left. The background was lit independently using a Soft Box on a Broncolor Light pointed at the background, and placed directly behind Joe. Joe and I worked together on choosing his clothing, which helped give the portrait a more professional business feel.

For a final assignment in my Product lighting class this semester we had to create a photograph of some type of footwear that clearly shows its features, benefits, and/or intended use. Using any light source we choose, we had to photograph our shoes in studio and follow all design principals we have learned over the past three semesters. I chose this pair of shoes for their bright color and pretty embellishments. I placed my shoes on a plexiglass light table; lighting from underneath, and from camera left. I also used a background light, and a back light placed behind the shoes on camera left. Using a small silver reflector, I bounced some of the back light into the silver portion inside the shoe.
