DC: Week Two

                                                     

Week Two in DC..... These photographs are from this week of exploring DC. Most of my week was spent at the Smithsonian Museums, however I did take some time and go to several other museums and go to the St. Patricks Day Parade. I visited the National Portrait Gallery, the National Geographic Museum, and the Phillips collection. Through this week, I was able to see art work from Monet, Chuck Close, Dan Winters, Alfred Stieglitz, Jackson Pollack, James Nachtwey, and Georgia O'Keefe. I was inspired by all the paintings and photography that I have been immersed in.  I have seen a wide range of art work and cannot wait to see more.

DC: Week One

                                  

                         

Week one in DC. These are just a few images that are a product of my first week living in Washington DC. Each image was taken in a different area of the city throughout the week. Everyday I choose a different place to walk to and have an opportunity to take a few photos. I will continue to explore this city as long as I am here. More photos to come from every trek I take.

Hello DC!!!!!

Well, it is my first week in Washington DC, for an internship at the Smithsonian. Everyday after I get off, I take a walk around The Mall. As I was walking to the Lincoln Memorial, I decided to create a panorama of  where I had been. And of course, incorporate the Washington Monument. More to come from every experience I get to have in this amazing city. This is the first photo and is for everyone who inspired and helped me get here. 

Flare for Video

This past Tuesday, I had the privilege to shoot a music video with some amazing ladies, Jessi Hagood and Frazier Sizemore. We traveled out and found this amazing old house in the middle of an open field. Perfect for our video. While we were exploring the house, I noticed Frazier standing in the door way and I took this photograph. A little behind the scenes preview. A big thank you to Jessi and Frazier for an awesome morning and an even better video. 

The music video will follow soon.

The Falling Splash

 

These images are a product of my latest assignment for my advertising class. We had to illustrate a cold beverage and I decided to photograph this in fun way. I wanted the actual beverage to be pouring beside the glass not in it. I tried many different variations of this idea. On my last shot of this shoot, I decided to pour the beverage in the glass and see what I could get. These two photographs are a product of a little experimentation and a little fun in the studio. Both were shot with a Canon 5D MkII. 

The Set

 

Solitary Silhouette

One Light, one model, one background, and ten minutes to do whatever we wanted. This was one assignment for my advertising class. I decided to do something a little different, and thanks to Jessica for letting me experiment. 

Back to My Roots

I am currently working on a photography project where I am shooting as many different people as I can, all on black and white 120 film. This is an extensive project that will last several weeks. This image is a product of one of my shoots. This is my grandmother and normally she asks, "Is my face going to be in it?"with any photos I take of her, but she came by and I took this quick shot. So a big THANK YOU goes to Nanny my grandmother for always supporting me and allowing me to photograph her any time. This image was photographed with a Bronica ETRSi with Kodak Tmax100 film. I just can't stay away from film.
