Hello hello everyone! … just came back from the Art-a-Fair fest. in Laguna Beach. I was there to show love/support for Julie’s parents. (their art is amazing btw) Well anyway, they didnt allow any photography…so i snuck a few crappy ones here and there…(now the goood part)…. well i was walking around with my friend Brian eating free food, making small talk with artists…and suddenly! WOOOOBAAM! Kina Grannis! so of course im gonna risk getting kicked out for a picture. I have seriously, serioulsy never have been that starstruck…if you dont know who she is…well thats a disgrace. She has a BOMBBB voice. Also writes her own stuff (which i respect a whoooole lot).

Art-a-Fair

anyway, check out her music @ www.kinagrannis.com amazing amazing talent.

Food Photography Project

So last semester, we had a midterm project on composition and lighting. Our assigment was to create 5-6 images of the same subject. To hone my skills in food photogpahy, i choose to do fruits and vegetables. THe most important thing i have learned from this project is ………. MIRRORS are aweesome! In many of my shots, mirrors gave me alot of fill and specular highlights. Mirrors are useful because they are small and gives you precision lighting. I love you mirrors.

Main light coming from the right. A mirror to give fill on the left. Notice that awesome highlight on the apple!? yep…thats from a mirror.

Main light on the back of the lemon, used a mirror for fill in the front. Yep yep! the specular spots on the lemon was created by the mirror!

For this shot, the main light is coming from the back. This not only creates nice backlight, but also illuminates that lemon and makes it “glow”. One huge mirror in the front. (notice the sparkly kiwi)

I love mirrors. The end.
