Multimedia Final

Here is my last video for my Multimedia 2 class. It kinda just shows and explains what I've been up to this last quarter. Hope you like it!

Website


Here is a website that you should check out to learn more about the crew and people that are involved with the Photography Network and that made the tv interview with Mel Scott and Gregory Heisler happen.

Oh my gosh!


Today was AMAZING at school today. As I stated a few posts before that Gregory Heisler was going to be coming to our school. He spoke today and showed us some of his work and WOW! Thats all I can say. He is the neatest guy, entertaining, and so humble. I cannot believe I got to meet him and get my photo with him! I will be posting that as soon as possible. What a neat experience, I will not forget. The host was Melvin Scott, what a neat man! He is a photographic editor and really knows his stuff. But not only did he interview Mr. Heisler, but he gave his own advice to us and encouragement, which meant a great deal.

This was one of my favorite photos of Mr. Heisler's...awesome!

Photo J

Here is my video from my Photo Journalism class. It was a lot of hard work and very difficult, but really pushed me. I wanted to shoot at Stone Mountain Park at Christmas time and show it from the performer's perspective. Hope you enjoy!

Denis Reggie



We have been learning about a lot of professional photographers at school, that have been in the field of photography for quite some time. The experiences that these photographers have had are awesome and their work is amazing! Another photographer that was at our school is Denis Reggie.
A lot of people in class have been blogging about him, but I found a website that has a lot of his work on there. Check it out, it's pretty sweet!

Headshots

So, one my friends is an actress and she is needing some new headshots. She asked me to shoot her, which I was thrilled to do for her but I started to look some stuff up on how to shoot it. I've been around theater and that seen, but as a photographer I have never shot headshots before.
Here is a good website, really for actors, but it also is pretty interesting and gives some good tips. Check it out!

Gregory Heisler


So, yeah this guy is amazing! Gregory Heisler has been in every magazine you can think of, and is just an amazing photographer. Whats more is that he is coming to my school tomorrow!!! I'm really excited, so check out his website.

Film and Photography

I interviewed Jeremy Doublestein with Three Ring Media the other day. He talked about how photography and videography are similar and then transition from photos to videos. Thanks Jeremy!

a friend of mine

Here is a wedding photographer, Brian Steele, that is a friend of mine, that has only been in the business for a couple years but has a very creative eye and is an awesome photographer. I really admire his work and think his images are awesome. Check him out!

More Christmas!



Here are a couple more photos from Stone Mountain. These I just really love the lights! Especially in Crossroads EVERYTHING is stranded with lights, down to the last nook and cranny. It's beautiful!

Wedding Shower


Me and my Mom threw one of my friend's a wedding shower a week ago. It was a lot of fun! I took some photos of some of the decorations and food that we made. The photo of the cake was my first Chocolate Torte I've ever made. Enjoy!

"Fa ra ra ra ra, ra ra ra!!!!!"


Well, it's Christmas time again! I've been shooting at Stone Mountain Park for my final four and have been seeing and taking lots of photos of the lights, people and the Christmas trees! The trees are beautiful and here are a few shots I took from there. I LOVE this time of the year! Check out some more here!

Commercial Photography at GTC

So, in case anyone is interested in photography, check out Gwinnett Technical College's program! It has a commercial photography program and this video was made by some of the students in the program. So, watch, learn and enjoy!

Jose Villa


I've put a video up about Jose Villa before but I don't believe I've shown any of his work. He is an amazing wedding photographer, that I really admire. He has workshops that I would LOVE to attend, but they, of course are ridiculously expensive. But we'll see what happens! Check out his stuff!

Color Schemes in CS4

SO, I didn't know you could even do this! It's pretty cool! Check it out!

It's Michael!!!!

So, here is another video I found of Michael the Mentor. He is talking more about the sensors in your camera in a different way. It's pretty sweet.
