Finding Myself and Describing it for My Work!

It has been a long road in my recent class! However I am grateful for it and will be missing it when it is over. It is Portfolio Exploration, I love this class and wish that it is longer. Here in the recent weeks I have learned so much about branding, identity, and what I want to and should be doing with my work. At first I was going to be a generalist. Now I am going to be going towards the commercial and advertisement work. I am extremely happy with that decision and the push from my instructor. I will forever be grateful for what she has shown me.

Now with the most recent assignment, it is about marketing and self promotion materials. I have found so many things that I want to work with in that aspect. I will have to compile everything and find what I like the best. There are so many ways to self promote.

Do any of you have any tried and true ideas for self promotion?

An Introduction to Powerblogging – Part 1

Good information here! I need to read and re read over and over. I have a hard time remember to blog.

Light Leaks

Here is another light painting from me. It is of glass bottles and a mutli colored light.

Simplicity at its Best

Since my portraiture class is finally over, I get to have my black background back. YAY!!!!! Oh how I have missed that background. I have come to the conclusion that I really need two. I love my light painting so much I was going through withdrawls. It was horrible! Now that I have it back I am happier than ever. With that said I have been light painting like crazy. I can be in that pitch black room with some music and a flash light for hours. I lose track of time when I am light painting. My zen.

A Portrait of a Child

This is an image that I took for my final in Portraiture. I have to say that I actually enjoyed that class. With this image I used christmas lights behind the white background. I also went with a different editing style than my normal. It came out pretty well. My little model is not the biggest fan of sitting still long enough for me to get a good session in, however I can mangage to get something here and there. This is one of my favorites of Mr. Max.
