The "Author Photo" - Sam

After crit on Friday, it was evident both me and my internship partner needed to re-do the author photo assignment. This came as no surprise, but I actually remembered the rules before my batteries died on me. Instead of making Emma suffer through another shoot in the cold, I put Sam in a jacket and told her to come with me and stand in a few places. I took many more pictures, and was very happy with a lot of them. I hope Emma, my boss Emma, will like these a bit better with eye contact and no smiles [despite the fact I loved the candidness, she felt they were too snapshot]. However, I have managed to keep my love for lighting intact, and have gotten closer in to the subject since the face needed to take up much more of the frame.

Though I still have to pick three for Friday out of all the ones I enjoy, here were a few of my picks to show off here:

The "Author Photo" - Emma

Now with school beginning again, I've started my internship with an assignment due tomorrow already. As promissed, I will be posting more school artwork here this semester, which will mainly be photography (and sadly no model drawing. Maybe next year!)

After being thrown under the bus and stressing about every finicky rule and running around to find printers, I discovered I was still made to be an artist who apparently forgets and still breaks rules. I wouldn't break them if they weren't given to me, but this assignment came with strict orders, one of which I couldn't follow. Though I do break on purpose, this time I forgot that eye contact was the most important rule, and that my internship overseer/boss I guess you could say "hates smiles". Well, at least for this "author photo" assignment. And normally I don't use them either, but I was lucky enough to get my roommate from last year comfortable behind the camera for a few (very cold) moments here and there yesterday afternoon.

Though we're taught to be purists, I've edited these to my liking to post here. The printed versions are un-edited, as my boss will see tomorrow, but here is me cropping and contrasting to my liking, though I haven't edited much. I've picked a few favorites to show you, unlike the three I will be showing tomorrow, but here they are.

Continued Sluttiness

I managed to catch this ad in several screenshots since my entry yesterday. It may not be the stripes one, but I daresay it's just as bad, starting at the crotch in all it's pixely scrolling glory.






Personal style? I'll let you debate.
