10×20 Layouts

May 7, 2009

I have to admit, this is the first time that I have actually done layouts for press books seriously, and it took me some time but I think im starting to get the hang of it.  As you can see, the spread below is a poster style, not exactly what the professor asked for, but I still think it works a bit…and its my first design (I think that you can tell where things start getting better as I progressed).

Couples Shoot #4

April 9, 2009

oopa-loompa

I know that this particular photograph has nothing to do with the concept of couples photography but I thought that you would like to see what a gangsta Oompa Loompa looks like.  And may I add:

Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-do,I got a gangter Oompa Loompa for you, Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-dee, if you are wise you’ll listen to me. 

This just ain’t the your typical cat, he’s liable to hit you with a bat, when your on the ground he’ll say “What you think of that!!!”  What do you think will come of that… I don’t like the look of it .

Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-da, if your not froggy you will go far, you will live in happiness too, just dont test the Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-do… (doom-pa-dee-do.)

Now that I got that out of the way, the picture above and the following photos were shot at the Pharaohs Fashion Extravaganza.  For this post for my class I decided to link up some of the male models, with some of the female models so that I could make up some nice couples photos.

For my senior style pics I decided to step away from my own comfort zone of shooting black people and instead shot my friend Fahad.  Creating his pics had its similarities, and issues.  But im not going to talk about the issues right now.

all-three

I started work with a new group of musicians, the group is called Sexellent.  They are a mix of Hip-Hop, Rock, and Techno dance music.  I was first introduced to this new group when a friend of mine Young Hinus ( who I have photographed before) joined up with them, and I was overjoyed to do this work for them, they begin they’re tour next week and im looking forward to working with them again.

Beauty Light #2

February 19, 2009

For this post I was a photographer for the Fly Society Fashion Show. It was held at the Voodoo Lounge.  The show itself was alot of fun, and I was able to get there early so I could get these glamor shots.  Did I mention that I LOVE MY JOB!!!.

This is what my set up was like in a hallway in the Voodoo Lounge. The hallway way right behind where the models were getting ready so that I could call them over for their shot. 

And with a little bit of  work and know how, your images can come out looking like this.
