Evolution of Smooth

Last week, we were paired up with a graphic design student and told to create a visual campaign together. My partner and i decided we wanted to create a few ads and other visuals for the brand EOS. EOS is an all natural/ usda organic lip and skin moisturizer company. We really wanted to focus on their "lip balm spheres". They are very fun and cute, but are also natura. Above are a few instagrams from the first shoot we did for a large banner.

Kindle Touch

For my first self promo this semester i decided to shoot my new Kindle Touch.
Originally i wanted to shoot table-top in the studio, but was reminded that the whole idea of a kindle is being portable. Being able to carry ALL of your books in one light, thin electronic tablet. I decided i wanted to take a more lifestyles approach and shoot a very fall looking scene. I also wanted to show off the "ink screen" which makes the screen you read very matte, paper like and easy on your eyes.

NYC in review.

I completed my first internship with Pascal Demeester in New York City this December.
I had a wonderful time! I learned composition, assisted in a high end shoot, shot large format on location around NYC. Began learning the zone system and spot metering. Scanned lots of film, helped create a 200 page editorial book and gained a wonderful friend.

I also spent lots of time exploring the city with fellow photographer friends Holly Mann and Cali Lowdermilk. In this post i have included 2 videos i made documenting our days together.

Self Promo #5: Eco-Friendly

For my 5th self promo i decided to shoot an ad for Eco Tools, an organic line of makeup and brushes. I shot on a Phase 1 Mamiya digital back with a 120 mm macro lens.

Tearsheet: Feminine

For James in photographic illustration this week, we were to find a tearsheet we liked and try to recreate it. I chose a Tacori ad because of the lipstick. I could not find large colorful rings like i thought, and realized the lipstick in the ad was much taller than mine. But i still love the outcome.

Self Promo #4: Ciroc Red Berry

This is my 4th self promo, i decided to shoot an ad for Ciroc Vodka. I really wanted to shoot a high key vodka ad and Ciroc has the most lovely bottles. This particular flavor: Red Berry, has the flavors of raspberries and strawberries infused, hence the berries.

Self Promo #3: Modcloth Ad

This is my 3rd self promo, an accessory/fashion diptych. I decided to do it for the clothing site Modcloth, one of my personal favorite stores. I chose modcloth because they always use a wonderful, vintage look. Many thank yous to my model Rachel Reddy and my sister Taylor for the hair and makeup.
