Obvious?

The Basics...Cards and Dice....

Does this look Photoshopped--if so does it look OBVIOUSLY (i.e.super-fake) Photoshopped?

Yes/No/Maybe-So?

Week 3...A Time of Solitude, Hissy-Fits, and Yawns

I did it! I did it! I did it!

After a week of desperation in regards to finding models--I will admit, I did have a hissy-fit or two--I am very proud of how this series-type-thing turned out. I have something to be proud of!! This weekend shall be the weekend of my (hopefully) HUGE photoshoot with my best friend and my boyfriend. Very proud of this picture. I tried to emphasis the game and cards with color and put my model in very simple black-and-white. Should I boost the cards in the bottom right? Comment yes/no/maybe-so! Thanks!

My Week at a Glance--Week 2

So, so far this week, I've been struggling to get models. Everyone's busy this weekend! Hopefully Sunday or Monday morning, one of my models will be available. I'm already planning next weekend so they can't escape my clutches! I have fooled around on Picnik at home and Photoshop at school, trying to get a vague idea of what I want my photos to end up looking like. It's going well. I love using this blog! It gives us an easier way to critique each other, and feels cool having your own "space".

Figured I ought to add a picture. I like the crispness of the lines, but the light seems blaringly annoying. I strongly dislike it. I need to figure out if/how to fix it.

Experimenting....

Just was messing around on Picnik--check it out before it closes on April 19th!--because I don't have Photoshop at home. Kinda grainy and not impressed. Just an experiment. It was an attempt at trying to make it look either reminiscent or as if he were in an arena. Not very happy about how the photo ended up looking. I'll keep working on it.

Dipping a toe into the pool called "Concentration"...


 My concentration is "obsession". One thing a few of my friends are really into is this card game, called "Magic". It got me thinking... What if someone liked it more than they wished to admit? So, in the first series of photos I took, the emotion my model gave off, was similar to those of an addict.

I attempted in capturing a crazed look in her eyes.

 


Temptation starts to take hold...

 



"Must....resist....!"

 

My boyfriend scattered his cards...glad I had my camera!




A rough work-in-progress...will update soon!!
