What I did today and plans for this blog.

I’ve been doing a lot of elaborate shoots lately in the pursuit of creating a “fashion” portfolio.  My fashion shooting has been leaning towards an editorial style that is shoots that present an idea or mood often using story telling elements to create a concept about the products.  In many ways editorial shoots are as [...]

Big Fashion shoot with McKinsey Preview!

Last Wednesday I did a big shoot with McKinsey Jordan for my Sidhe project.  We drug a table and chairs and a bunch of props back into the woods at Pertel Springs in Warrensburg Mo.  The shoot went really well and I thought I would publish a few images as well as a video shot [...]

Creative Photography Assignment #6 “Spy Girl”

This is my sixth and final shooting assignment for Creative Photography Spring 2010 at UCM.  I started consulting with this model about this shoot at the start of the semester but due to schedule conflicts we were not able to set up the shoot until the end.  The colorful spy movie genre of the 60s [...]

Creative Photography Assignment #5 “Bella Bully”

This is my fith assignment for Creative Photography class.  The title of the project is “Bella Bully”.  This is a kind of continuation on the theme I’ve been doing for my last few assignments.  I’m thinking it’s turning into a series.    I also put a set from this shoot on my Flickr Photostream.

Creative Photography Assignment #4 “Street Shaman”

This is my fourth assignment for Creative Photography.  The concept is “Street Shaman”.  This shoot was done as a character concept photo illustration project.  It’s also somewhat inspired by the super hero comic book genre.  Like a super hero the street shaman hides her identity with a mask which in her case is painted on [...]

Creative Assignment #3 “Gunpunk”

This is my assignment #3 for creative photography.  The concept is “Gunpunk”  a kind of action hero satire also kind of a satire of the trash art “girls with guns” genre.  I added textures to these images as well. 

Creative Assignment #2 In A Spin

This is my 2nd assignment for Creative Photography Class.  “In A Spin” by Nathan Miller.  Model Maria.        

Creative Photography Assignment 1: Self Portrait

The first assignment for the Creative Photography class I am in this semester at UCM was “Self Portrait”.  Being a “creative” class obviously a standard self-portrait wouldn’t do.  Rather than doing a set of portraits about me and what I do I decided to do a series about who I might have become if I had made [...]

Creative Photography in class shoot: “Frames”

Our first in class shoot for creative photography was to use a frame to create interesting compositions.  We broke up into small groups for this assignment.  The group I was in focused on using the frame as a portrait prop. 

Concepts for Post Apocalyptic photo projects.

Last year I did quite a few post apocalyptic and zombie hunter photo shoots.  This year I plan to continue those projects but I am also starting a somewhat more serious Post Apocalyptic project set even later after a supposed fall of civilization.  The work I hope to produce will be more artistic and less focused [...]
