After having a bad night last night my friend decided to surprise me with a "care package." Within this package, which was actually a Spongebob Birthday bag, included my favorite non-chocolate candy ever! Starburst of course! I was so happy I had to show off how sweet he can be sometimes. Using window light I set up my starburst in a cute little dish to make them look more at home. Spilling the candy was an accident, which makes the image more playful.
So I started my Italian dinner series today! It's a series where a person goes to an Italian restaurant and orders a classy dinner for themselves. First you start off with your salad. Then moving along to the appetizer. Later on in the meal you move on to your entree. After that dessert. That only leaves coffee to end the meal and NEVER forget to tip your server. Today I photographed the appetizer, stuffed mushrooms, and the coffee scene. I had a difficult time getting the lighting right, but I think I made out with some good images. Of course a re-shoot is in order after I get feedback from my peers!
I do not normally take images of people and this was my first time taking photos of men's fashion. I struggled a little bit, but then we found a groove that worked for us. Jonny was a pleasure to work with. Very bubbly personality and knew how to pose very well. We did this shoot just for the fun of it and we had a blast. I enjoy lighting my subjects with dramatic lighting so I have a visible hard shadow due to my side lighting technique. After this photo shoot I will consider taking images of people again!
