uhhhhhhhhh..random shot

Time Management

Time management seems to be a serious issue with me. I take on so many tasks at once and then get jumbbled up because everything is piled on top of one another. Lately I've been trying to accomplish tasks as soon as I recieve them but it just ends up being done at the last minute. Thats something I NEED to adjust. Its a life adjustment that needs to be done.

Elle magazine inspired ad photos

 

Not my best but I had to get this assignment done. I originally planned to shoot an editorial type photo but the weather on my free days was not cutting it for me. Anywho..

One day I hope I will maybe understand how professional retouchers can have so much patience to touch up every little hair on a persons face. For now I just used iPhoto retouch since I don't have photoshop. 

For the most part these are sooc with a little color face or contrast boost. I used this ad for makeup inspiration:  

I set my white balance to tungsten because I used a tiny lil' lamp that was almost like a flashlight. The colors in the photos I took were a tad washed out; I used yellow and purple for my eyes but still kept the pink lip. Obviously, with editing the colors the vibrance was lost.

I think the second photo is my favorite as an ad. 

The 3rd is another favorite but a little less practical since if it was in a magazine itd have the crease right through the subject. 

I also like the 2nd to last photo just because of the shadow on my face. 

Fact of the day: I really want to invest in better lighting sources!

oldie but goodie

Here are a few shots from last year when I made my friend Caitlin into a Leopard!

Had to post

How crazy is that!?

Entering Fall

Self shots are the easiest to take when it comes to carrying out ideas, in my opinion. You can pose the way you see it and bring forth an emotion much faster than with a model. Holding the camera right is always the problem I personally face.
