Splicer - concept board

I am working on my concept board that is due for class...in 3 hours.. (shhh) BUT.. my next shoot will be of a Splicer from the video game Bioshock. It has to be either food or fashion.. And I discovered that my friend Mari has a costume for a Splicer... So I am making these wicked characters part of a fashion shoot! If you have no idea what a splicer is, you can search it on Google and a ton of pictures will pop up. They are incredibly creepy looking, but I'm going to take a different approach to them in this shoot. Here is my lighting diagram. I'll be shooting this next Wednesday!

Mari,
Thank you so much for standing in that spot for so long while I got the lighting right. You are the best.

 

Red Dragon/composite

I haven't updated this in forever.. oops.

Here's 2 things I've been working on.. This is a composite I made for one of my classes.. And it goes along with the other one that's like this.. I'm making a series of these.. so you'll be seeing more :D

This other photo was shot for advanced studio.. and I based it off of the movie Red Dragon and also a poem. Here's a link to the poem

That's my friend Heather.. one of the most creative people I have ever met in my life :)

Continuing my HDR project...

I wanted to redo this photo at night for my HDR project (..which was an old class assignment but I decided to keep working on it).. I still have problems with this photo that I'm working on fixing, which are mainly the really wacky color issues that went on when I merged the 5 images.. I've never done an HDR photo at night, but I feel like this is pretty decent for my first try.

Gemstones

I haven't updated this in a while..for several reasons. and I don't feel like explaining right now.

I shot some gems.. Here are two...

Claire's dad, Don Laufer, makes awesome gemstones! He let me borrow a few to practice lighting.

Go check out his website. He makes some pretty amazing stuff and teaches a class for cutting stones, too... (which I also photographed..but will put those up soon)


At the moment, I am wondering why I am still awake at 3:48am when I have to be up at 6:00am.
My final portfolio is done, besides one photo.. so I'm not worried about being productive in class today. YAWN.
