Fabric

For Kevins assignment due last week, we were told to photograph fabric using three different lighting set ups. I decided to use my ultra comfy Anthropologie comforter as my fabric!

Daniel James

Last Night (Sunday) I was given the opportunity to see a very good friend of mine play at the NC Music Factory's Saloon. Daniel James is an up and coming artist who recently moved from Charlotte, NC to Nashville, TN to pursue his dream of music. Daniel and I have been friends since our Sophomore year of High School, and have continued to stay in touch over the years. It was such a treat to hear him play last night, especially in such a close-knit environment. Daniel had invited a small group of friends from High School, it was wonderful to catch up with old friends and see where we all had landed since the lovely days at Porter Ridge.

Alphabet

Our assignment was to photograph objects that look like letters of the alphabet, to put all the photos in a canvas in photoshop, play with the colors and tones to our liking, and print the image. This was my final image

Here comes the bride {Sneak Peek}

On Saturday, I had the opportunity to photograph two of my very dear friends wedding. Will Mitro and Brittney Cope celebrated their 8 year anniversary on Friday, and got married Saturday. This was by far the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen (and I've seen a LOT!)

I'm very fortunate to have had Brittney come into my life, she has been an amazing friend, and at times an awesome mentor.

Cans

So I get to my favorite teachers class at 8 am this morning (entirely too early if you ask me) & he immediately gives us an assignment and rushes us out the door. Nothing like being woken up by an ex-autioneer style voice telling us to go out and photograph a soda can. No guidelines, nothing. We were able to use anything we wanted as a prop, etc.
Best Part: The photo's metadata had to read that it was taken no later than 9:25 am.
AWESOME!!

So I'm paired up with Sarah Johnson and Lewis Perkins, and these are a few of the images we came up with:

Self Portrait

So, who doesn't like being in front of the camera? Since I'm always the one behind the camera {besides when I'm being the model for a cheesy 80's style portrait}, I was given the assignment to create a self portrait. YIPPIE! So my current 'profile pic' for my blog is the outcome of my lovely photoshoot... BUT my bestie/roomie & I decided to do something a little more fun. We have an inspiration board in our super adorable living room and decided to use that as our background. Its filled with all sorts of quirky magazine cutouts, inspirational quotes, and southern summer love. We decided to break out a few of our new I <3 Photography stickers and play a little bit!

Rule of Thirds

My first assignment for my Intro Into Digital class was due today. We were given 2.5 hours to photograph any subject we would like and create a layout. The only restrictions that we had were that the photos had to be in a "rule of thirds" format, and that we could have either two horizontal and one vertical, or two vertical and one horizontal. I immediately started thinking of ideas, and since photography runs my life, what better idea that to do equipment? The first photograph is my personal Mamiya C33 twin lens medium format camera. The second photograph is a close up of my ©Epiphanie camera bag and the adorable keychain that came with it. The third photo is my fathers old light meter from his photography business and a Canon AE1 that a dear friend had given me.
