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 different choices, associated with different people, and been raised with different family values. 

 This portrayal of myself as a “Redneck” is intended to be a satire.  So the series is a lie about myself but like any good lie there is a bit of truth to it.

Creative Photography in class shoot: “Frames”

Heather

Holly

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.

Creative Photography is a class I’m taking at the University of Central Missouri with professor Jerry Schmidt.  The class is more focused on the artistic side than the technical side of photography.

Post Apocalyptic Shoot

I’ve been working on this concept for a while.  Eventually I want to do a series of photo stories or a photo comic book/graphic novel or perhaps even a set of short films based on the Post Apocalyptic World or P.A.W. as it is know in survivalist circles.  This set is more of a character study than a fully fleshed out photo story.

You can view the rest of the shots from this shoot on flickr.
