MnM Photo

This past semester was intense, or at least it felt that way. I took three classes for photography, History of photography, Editorial and Advertising, and Advanced Photoshop for Photography. I'd like to believe that all of the classes pushed me more artistically than any other classes that I had taken before. I learned quite a lot during it, and had fun with the projects, met new people, and it has helped me to re-define how I photograph, and edit. Anyway, here are the photos that I came up with and was assigned to do during this semester, I don't think I published a lot of them, maybe previews on facebook and instagram but here they are.

I have been striving ever since I started photography, to accomplish the 'beauty portrait', glamour slash fashion look. Personally, I don't think I have had accomplish to my standards the beauty glamour photo, something always didn't quite convince me. But, this past year has been the year I have grown the most as a photographer, artistically, technically, and experienced. Of course, I haven't experienced everything that there is to a photographers life, or work belt, but what I have learned has helped to 'more easily accomplish' what I set my mind to photograph. The idea comes out more exactly of how I imagined it in the final result. This is more like a self reflection in my work, in case you haven't noticed... :P

But back to the photo shoot, I remembered Catherine, seeing her around my school, and then ending up in the same photography class last semester, and I had always wanted to photograph her. I know, it sounds creepy, but to any photographer out there, they know what I mean. So finally, over the summer I added her on Facebook, and then a few months later I asked if she would model for me for some beauty portraits and I did. (I hope your not creeped out by me after reading this post btw) She delivered so well, although she says she's not too well at it, I loved the results she gave me... & then what was more awesome was that a friend that has Model a lot for me, did the super cool make up I asked for. Ashley, of course, I think she's in like 5 blog posts of mine.... or less, she's a great model too, but it was great working with her behind the camera for me this time around. I hope its not the last time I get to work with both of you girls. Anyway, see the results for yourself!
