finals!

so, i am officially done with my finals. well. besides my online class. which is not much fun. anyways, i had a lot of assignments this quarter that were not fashion related, that i didnt want to post on my website. therefore, i thought i would share some of them here.

this first set is a series of cocktails that i shot for a "chapters in a book" assignment in my advertising II class. i did all of the styling for these myself, surprisingly. and i also had a ton of help from my assistant, matt bushong (www.matthewlouisphoto.com), on this shoot and the next.

the next one was an image that i did for a public service announcement for gambling addiction.

and lastly, here is an illustration that i did for the art institute.

okay, i believe that is enough for tonight. i also shot with megan gardner and nikki beattie this weekend and i will be editing and posting those images shortly. hopefully tonight! :)

so very true.

"And if a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up. I know that the accident of my being a photographer has made my life possible." - richard avedon, 1970.

dear world, im back.

well, well, well.  2010 has been a bit different.  in the past two months, my dad had reconstructive back surgery, my best friend gave birth to her beautiful baby boy, a massive snow storm destroyed pittsburgh, and my brother turned 21.  but finally, after being well into march, im back in the game.  like really, i promise this time.

enough with the life blahblahblah.  this past weekend, i decided to try and get some color going in my portfolio.  and i believe i conquered that, to say the least.  here is an image from the edit that i didnt put up on my website.  boom.
