Red Red Red

I just finished up with my red assignments, part of our quarter long colors assignment.  For this class we have 5 color schemes and 4 images per color, red, white, black, blue/green, yellow/orange (or other). I have really been meaning to do a recipe for the blog, but I don't think that may actually happen this quarter since we have almost 40 shots that we have to come up with. (maybe, maybe?) I have at least 3 shoots lined up for this coming week for assignments, so I will post those once they are completed.  One of those shoots, for my quarter long non-profit advertising campaign, this Saturday will be a recipe so it's quite possible I can post the squash salad recipe. I actually do miss and enjoy cooking, and the whole process of it. 

For the shots below, the first 2 pomegranate shots I used our North Light, a gigantic light, built into a plexi box.  These shots are playing with the idea of pomegranate mulled wine. The next two pie shots, I used natural light, and was my most expensive shoot to date. That is the THIRD cherry pie, that I used. The first one I made, and the crust didn't turn out as expected, the 2nd was from Trader Joe's and just didn't look quite right. The last one is one from High Five Pie, and it looks amazing!   My beet shot I used my qflashes with my softlighter at home, and the 4th and final wine shot, I built a light tent in the studio to surround the wine, and used a lot of plexi. I keep trying to change what lights I am using on every shot, to try to keep pushing myself as much as I can!

Fall Quarter Catalog Layouts

School will be starting back up again, soon.  Less than 1 week, which is crazy! Next quarter is going to be a lot of work, from what I have heard. We have our colors assignments and our non-profit advertising campaign, I believe totaling about 30 images, when all is said and done. I finished my pre-production plans last week and between the two assignments and my creative brief I compiled something ridiculous like 50 pages worth of plans, ideas, inspiration to work from.  This will hopefully make things easier for next quarter though in the long run...

On that note, I thought I would take the opportunity to post my last quarter's catalog spreads, just in time for school to start back up again. This was a lot of hard work, but also a lot of fun, and I think that I got some good shots out of it!

Now for a few days, I will be prop shopping, and hopefully have one full movie day before we get back in the swing of things. :)  Here's to a great 2013!
