Panorama

This image is a lot different than most of the photographs I have posted on my blog, but it was something I wanted to give a shot for my Digital II class. The assignment was simply "Spaces". I did a series of several images of this character appearing as a ghost image lit by car headlights. My aim was to create a narrative where the purpose and intent of the character was questioned and unsure. This was my most successful of the series.

This is the last image of the Saks Fifth Avenue shoot that I think I'm going to post, because it's the final of the images that I really liked out of them. Although I liked this image, I didn't end up using it for my final because it was a little more narrative than fashion, and didn't showcase the clothing as much as they would have liked for a Saks campaign.

11/11/11

Last Friday on 11/11/11 was the fashion show collaboration between Saks Fifth Avenue, Nuovo Salon, Dior Cosmetics, and Ringling College of Art and Design. It is where we got to show the community, as well as our family and friends all of the hard work we've put into our collaborative assignment with Saks throughout the past month or so. Held at Michael's On East in Sarasota, FL our photographic work hung beside the fashion show held by Saks. With approximately 300 people in attendance, the show was a major succes, and very well received. I am so grateful that my parents were able to travel from Massachusetts to see the show. The night marked a milestone for all of us from Ringling who worked closely with Saks and that we are now all able to put on our resumes that we have worked with such a big time company within the fashion industry. Here are both of my images that were on display Friday night, both printed 24 inches by 36 inches.

Saks 5th Avenue

Throughout the semester, my fashion photography class here at Ringling has been collaborating with Saks Fifth Avenue in using their clothing and accessories for our photo shoots. All clothing for our final assignment was borrowed from the Sarasota Saks store, the makeup was done by Dior makeup artists, and the hairstyling was done by local, Nuovo salon. The theme of my entire shoot was a modernized film noire theme and environment. A week from today on 11/11/11 we're having a fashion show sponsored by Saks where each of us in the class is having two of our prints blown up 2feetx3feet to be on display that night. This image wasn't chosen for my final two, but it's one of my favorites for the shoot, so I wanted to post it first, and the ones I am using after the fashion show. Model: Samantha G

Oops

I just realized that I never uploaded the third image of the drowning series. Even though it's the last one I'm posting it actually belongs second in the series. Thanks again to my lovely model, Sarah, who was really fun to work with on this one.

California

Several weeks ago, one of my teachers sent out an email for a call-for-entries for a exhibition titled The Dark Side with the theme being all night photography. The show is going to take place next weekend (opening night being October 22, 2011) in Los Angeles, California and even though I'm not even remotely near that area I decided to submit three pieces to see if they would get into the show. Two days ago I was informed that out of 46 pieces being chosen nationwide I would be having two of my images appearing in the show! Even though I took these two images about a year ago, I thought I would post them here with the excitement of them getting into the show. Enjoy

Well after the better part of the afternoon editing, this is another image from the high fashion shoot. It's actually going to be the last of the series when displayed, I just haven't edited the middle image yet. The first image is it before any editing, followed by another version with the majority of the editing already taken place. I'll be wrapping this one up on Tuesday, and I'll post the final piece at that time.
