Object Series

My object series tells a story. :3

I feel that this piece had a really nice concept, however, I really think that I didn't need the flash because the objects were already shiny by themselves. I tried adjusting it but it didn't work out well. But overall I think it was successful in what I was trying to portray. The black background really helped the golden necklaces stand out more than a white background would have done. Keeping the pieces still was somewhat of a difficulty.

Photo Journaling

I recently made a photobook dedicated to art(and artists), here are a few screenshots.

This is my one and only favorite picture. Probably because I actually put some thought into it. I think it came out really well. The only thing I hate is that the top paint brush got cut off..

I used the website, http://www.blurb.com/ to make the photobook.

Surreal Montage

                Unfortunately, I couldn't get my original idea done, however I will work on it on my own time. This photo is about how we take our possessions for granted. That they'll always be there and that we can depend solely on them. However, in this picture, the model's last possession (a simple cushioned seat) is being lifted from her. Yet she holds her hand out wanting/waiting for more materials. As if they should simply fall in her lap. I like the background picture because it's barren and has no life to it. I'd like to also take note that the model is purposely alone because her materials have consumed her so well that she has left her own family and friends behind. I feel the piece was successful enough to the point that it's abstract yet aesthetic. I do, however, feel like something is missing. I also wish I could've made the light in the window darker.
