Final Project: "In the Footsteps of History: The Coalition of Historical Trekkers"
Ahhhh… The end of the semester. We finally finished putting together our audio slideshow for our final project in Advanced Techniques in Photojournalism. As you may remember, Joel, Vivian, Sarah, and I went to the National Gathering of The Coalition of Historical Trekkers last month and spent two days photographing the event. I can’t tell […]
Advanced Techniques Class: Painting With Light
You may have seen some of my previous “painting with light” pictures that I did last semester (and this one too). Well, lucky me, I actually get to do it for a grade this time in my Advanced Techniques class. Along with my group members Chelsea, Elisa, and Darren (and Jason came along to help […]

Enjoy this brilliant piece of cinematic art: […]
Dog Days of Early March
So my next assignment in Advanced Techniques is the single flash assignment. Normally, I avoid using a flash at all costs. I like using ambient light and I think a flash is distracting and I usually prefer blending into the background. But, since I don’t really have a choice with this assignment, I headed out […]
Advanced Techniques Class: Classmate Portrait
The second assignment in my Advanced Techniques was the classmate portrait. My partner was fellow grad student Michelle Peltier. I think the studio is big and scary because until last week, my studio experience was a bit lacking. It was fun to experiment with different lighting setups (see diagrams below). It is very hard to […]
