Hotel Photo Shoot

On the 17th of June, I went to a photo shoot with Charlie Kristine and Soniya Lei. We meet at a hotel in Temucula. The set up was at the coach, bed, and hot tub.

I meet Charlie a couple times and she is a wonderful model, but it would be my first time meeting Soniya, and I thought that it was absolutely a great time.

6:30 pm was the time, but we didn’t start until like 7pm, and Soniya was a bit late, but when she arrived I started to take lots of pictures of her.

Here are a few photos I am willing to share, enjoy!

Sarah McDowd Photo Shoot

On Sunday, June 6th, 2010, I attend a photoshop workshop with a bonus studio photo shoot with Sarah McDowd. I was early and waited for the other photographers to show up. This is my first time meeting Sarah, and I could tell that she is an amazing model. The agenda for the day was to do the photo shoot first with the model, and than Isaac Medera shared how he would edit his photos. Isaac was working with Adobe Photoshop CS5 and showing us new features of what CS5 has.

Overall, I really enjoyed working with both Sarah and Isaac, and was able to meet other photographers. At this workshop there was about 2 other photogs and that she was able to make 2 workshops on Saturday, and one more on Sunday afternoon.

I was able to pick 2 outfits that I would like for her to wear, and I took 262 photos of her wearing a dark purple bikini with black heels, and 141 photos of her wearing black red flames dress with red thigh highs and black heels.

I picked out 2 photos from both sets and I did some photo editing and I would like the share these with you.

Enjoy

HDR Transformer Kaiyodo Optimus Prime

This weeks [10/14 to 10/21] photography assignment is Table Top.  I know how to take pictures for Table Top since a few years back, and from the class of last year.  It seems that every time I do it, I improve.  I decided to take this assignment a bit further to do them in HDR [High Dymanic Range].

At Comic Con this year I gotten an kaiyodo action figure, and I have been looking and waiting for, which was Optimus Prime.  I wanted to fine a good price for it at at Comic Con.  I found a seller that had 3 left, so I gotten 2 of them for discounted price.  One box is open now, and one box is staying sealed cause Optimus Prime is my favorite Autobot.

Materials

• Kaiyodo Transformers Optimus Prime Action Figure
• PVC homemade Light Tent
• Silver Sun Car Shade
• Black Acrylic

Today is the due date for my Photoshop Final projects. I submitted two images but I also given the process images, showing the starting point to the finished images that I wanted to achieve. I have uploaded them to here, so I can share with you, and please give me comments, and thoughts, Id like to see what you all have to say about my work.

First Image is a drawing of me and a lulu girl dressed up as a jedi. I got this drawing at Comic Con a few years back. The artists name is Tim Wollweber, and I just simply scanned the image in to my computer, and used photoshop to outline the dark and important lines. Than, I went and colored in all the areas I wanted to show colors. I took the image to place it on a background image that is Star Wars related. I was applying layers and adding lightsaber effects.

Second Image is a Transformer Toy, his name is Optimus Prime the leader of the mighty Autobots from Cybertron. A year back, I took several exposed shots of this action figure, and made the image into a HDR resolution.  HDR (High Dyanmic Range). For what I have applied are a few different things that I learned during class, which are; Filter in the Lens Blur, Masking, and Applying Text with gradient colors.

In my photoshop class we have been learning about the Text tool. Ive done this image to reference to what I learned in my photoshop class. I used the Text tool, and the masking tool for the text to look like its on a cover of a magazine. Ain’t it great? I hope you will comment on this.
