Garnish is Good For You

This shot was for a final self-promo assignment this semester. I wanted to do a sort of non-food food shot. I was hoping to emphasize how people (especially Americans) often eat everything on their entire plate, but leave the garnish untouched. The lighting may leave a bit to be desired, but this is actually pretty close to how I visualized it.

Head Shot

This shot of the lovely Layne Sizemore was for our Client Assignment #2. The goal was to have a completely white background with no flare which, I've come to find out, is harder than it might seem. Luckily I worked with a great group of people and a wonderful model who is making appearances in many student projects. (She's also a really good photographer).

Layne is such a natural model that we had several shots we liked out of ten, so here is one more.
