Last shoot

So I just finished my last shoot of my college career. It feels kinda strange. Not in the sense that i'll never take a picture again, but i'll never have to take a photograph for a class. Everything has always had to be for a class; now it's going to be for clients (hopefully).

The shoot went well though. I think it was one of the fastest shoots i've done to date haha. AND I only took about 100 pictures which is absolutely crazy for me considering I average at about 250-300. I got to use the scorpions which was interesting and my model actually let us put some scorpions on her which was awesome. The editing for this shoot should be pretty minimal which is a relief. The only thing I might go back in and do is photograph some smoke and put that in because I feel like it needs just a little something.

Overall I think i'm going to be very happy with the outcome of this shoot so yay!

Almost Done!

I'm in the process of editing one of my last shoots. This one is taking forever! I'm not 100% satisfied with it yet, but it will have to do. I should be doing my final shoot for the series tomorrow night. I think that will turn out pretty neat! There will be live scorpions,snakes and spiders Oh My!! haha.
I'm thrilled to almost be done. Pretty much everyday for the last month or two i've been wanting to shoot myself (not literally but you get the idea). I'm surprised I haven't developed some sort of disorder from stress.....yuck. Hopefully once this is all done I can get back to having good eating habits and time to take care of all the things I haven't been.
I must say that I am very proud of myself though. I think my work has improved sooo much in these last few months. I credit that to finally having my own studio lights and not having to depend on borrowing someone elses, saying screw it to my other classes and spending the time I need on my sets and shoots, and just generally being more inspired. Building these sets and environments has been very fulfilling to me and I'm definitely going to continue with it and develop more.

Okay, back to editing.
