finishing up my portfolio for my lighting class. this is a woman i work with (deidre), she's like my second mom.
My photo class has taught me that I have some really good friends. As part of my final project for JOU4603 Specialized Journalistic Photography, I wanted to portray flap(jacks) for my "A Jack of All Trades" series. What started off as an ordinary shoot with a nice-sized stack of pancakes evolved into this. My roommate, who is clearly a trooper, let me but her face in between a stack of just-made (i.e. hot) pancakes AND pour syrup on her.
All in the name of art.
P.s. We did not eat the pancakes when we were done. What a shame; they looked de-lish.

As part of my final project for JOU4603 Specialized Journalistic Photography, I used one external light at eye level from the left side. I held down the shutter button with one hand to take continuous shots, and with the other dropped a bunch of metal jacks.

I found this cello in the drawing room at my school I figured it need another use other then being drawn so I took some pictures of it. Turned out better then I expected because the cello is beaten to crap.
Hope you like,

This shoot was difficult lighting-wise, but I was able to practice with split lighting techniques. At first, broad lighting wasn't the most flattering for my model, and it usually isn't, but I was finally able to compromise on this shot, which uses short light.
Other than that, building a house of cards – with or without tape – is no joke. It took forever to build that background!
We had a great model last Saturday, Keiko Shimizu. Her unique look and her styling evokes cosplay. Will most likely shoot her again.

Part of my final project for JOU4603 Specialized Journalistic Photography, I used an external flash at a high setting and long distance to backlight my subject. I did a minor tinker in photoshop to get rid of his head, and viola! A headless man to portray jack-o-lantern in "A Jack of All Trades." Spo0o0o0oooky.
spent the weekend at a workshop for studio lighting for the figure. 12 photographers, 3 models, 3 assistants, 1 instructor, and 2 days worth of images to process.
As part of my final project for JOU4603 Specialized Journalistic Photography, I used subtractive lighting techniques with one external flash to portray a lumber(jack) for my "Jack of All Trades" series.
For this shoot, I had to borrow nearly everything you see in the photo: red flannel shirt, the axe, the suspenders he is wearing, the location in which we shot and even the model. At the time, I was desperately looking for anyone with a beard, so I consulted a Tumblr follower I knew attended the same school as me. He excitedly said yes, we met up and bam.

Here we go. This is a group shot of my very first lighting class I was teaching every Tuesday evening for the past 5 weeks. I had such a blast passing on the "Strobist" torch and according to them, it was educational and fun. And of course I had to do a group shot like this... :-)

As part of my final project for JOU4603 Specialized Journalistic Photography, I used the painting with light/flashlight painting technique...without a light to paint with. All I had was my strobe light machine and iPhone 5 flashlight (backlighting the Jack Daniels bottle) to create the image of Ke$ha reminiscent of "TiK ToK" lyrics: "When I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack." Thank goodness my roommate, who prefers not to be named for obvious reasons, was the perfect Kesha doppleganger.

As part of my final project for JOU4603 Specialized Journalistic Photography, I used one external flash and subtractive lighting techniques to portray a jumping jack from my "Jack of All Trades" series.
The lighting was easy to achieve, but the tricky part was keeping my weak light stand above water...in the high tide...while waiting for the precise moment for the waves to crash...while getting my model to do a high enough jumping jack...while keeping a relaxed face...while beating the clock as the sun rose into the sky. Easy peezy, right? Well, for this shoot, the result was definitely worth the effort.
As part of my final project for JOU4603 Specialized Journalistic Photography, I did one of my favorite lighting techniques. If you've never tried painting with light/flashlight painting, all you have to do is find a dark area, set up a long exposure with you camera on a tripod, and literally use a flashlight to "paint" your subject. I also used a strobe for the background effect.
