Consumer Portrait

Hey Guys!


So for our finally portfolio we have to shoot a consumer portrait. Our only guidelines were to have a traditional lighting schematic! So I started brainstorming, and could not think of anything.




And then after a few hours, I thought of this:



I photographed my dear friend Jennie Woodley. I wanted to capture " The happiest day of your life ", but in a way that the model did not truly look happy. I shot all this in the studio, using an old door with a curtain over top. Placing a medium softbox behind to mimic the sun coming through. I achieved rembrant lighting by using a strip light on the right side, and fill card on the left.

I could not be more happy with this image.
A HUGE thank you goes out to Jenny!

PS. FIVE days left till portfolio is due.

Magazine Cover

For our Final Portfolio, and for an assignment, we had to find a Magazine, and create a cover for it. I chose the well known magazine GQ. My friend Colin Gaudet, an up and coming model from nova scotia. Was kind enough to stay up late and model for me. We did two shoots. After editing and picking my favourite photo, I edited it, and put the text around.

Who knew text could be one of the hardest things you do? Colin did an amazing job!
