Up and Down Hero

For this assignment I shot the performing artist Millie Brown in Yosemite, I tried to capture her around nature from different angles. Since she is always perform around nature I thought this was a good idea. She was named for the second time Visual Artist of the Year in London. Her art is very interesting to me because she use her body as a tool for her Art. She had a gallery at the ACE gallery in Los Angeles where she was showing her canvas. 

Some samples of her work

Change Hero CONVERSE

 For this assignment I shot a pair of converse and flowers in the studio and tried to change different positions. Also i used different gels just to get a better results , I used three strobes and different backgrounds as well. My idea was to show as a photographer different advertising options to a client.  Also my idea was to have a collaboration with converse and make the shoes look more approachable, the reasons why i used different gels and flowers was to get more attention from viewers. I put all the images together because I thought this would be a good way to show the same subject in different ways as you can noticed the same subject changes in every photo.

    For this assignment i was inspired on the photographer Tyrone Lebon, here is a sample of his work from his work

Up and Down Proposal

Up and Down i'll try to take photos of a model or artist from different angles, maybe from the bottom or top, i'll shoot outdoors and try to capture the reactions of the person just being on nature.
For this assignment i had plans to shoot it in the studio and make this shoot more kind of fashion but my model cancel on me last minute and at the end it didn't work out with schedules so i took photos of my friend in nature.

Change Proposal

For this assignment i'll work with a product and gels in the studio, I want to play around with different colors and aesthetic. I'm planning on taking a photo of a subject and demonstrate the same object in different compositions it could be me adding more props to the photo or just changing the colors in the background. This would be a good way for me to show the different changes that this subject has.

American Culture HERO

Skater 

For this assignment I tried to capture the model showing his personal style and the props like the hat and the skate on the side. I took the photo out doors with a strobe on the left side. I wanted to do something more like an editorial type like he being a skater saying a story about his culture or his personal style.

               

For this assignment  I took photos of my friend Katie Howard, She is a young artist from San Diego and the singer of the band called Citrus. For my hero image I tried to capture the American culture so I told my friend to wear the american flag outfit. I wanted to show a pool and trees because i think it works well with the subject it makes me think of like a scene from a movie. Also her expression on the photo works well. I told my friend to carry the horns because i think it would look more interesting.

Here is another photo that I took in black and white, I think it looks cool the way the lines on the background work with the subject,  Here is some my friends work https://soundcloud.com/citrusandkatie

Culture Proposal

For this assignment my goal is to capture American Culture and feminism i'll take photos of my friend in front of her pool holding some horns. She will be wearing an american flag outfit. I didn't really had that much ideas for this assignment but i think i captured American culture in some way. 

Time

I took Pictures of my roommate Daniel and for this assignment I wanted to capture him just being himself at home. I took a before and after photo of him with green hair, he changed his hair color that day. I took this photo while we were getting ready to move out of the apartment. He is a young photographer and musician, and I decided to get like a youth, freedom vibe on the first photo. I cut small gels squares and put them around the flash so as you can see on the corners there's some color gel effects.

This is the after photo of my roommate with green hair, he said he was inspired on the Joker a batman character. This photo I took it with an iPhone 6 quality and used some purple lighting. Personally i sometimes like how iPhone photos come out specially. if you want to get a grungy effect.
