New Art Documentation

This is some sculpture and pottery I shot for Melissa LeBlanc the other day. I was really excited to try my hand at shooting the sculpture and I'm very pleased with the result. I used a single top down, left sided flash head with a couple reflectors in place to bounce the light back up. This method was suggested to me by Drew Gilbert, an instructor here at NBCCD. For the pots I kept the overhead light but made it more central and added in a left facing soft box. I wish now I had another reflector in place on the right side, as the bottom right side on the images is a little too dark by my standards, a reshoot may be in order if Melissa wants it. I could just be being picky though. On to the images.

Till next time.

A Low Key Portrait and Simple Graphics

This is from a recent job I did for the college. The request was for a artist bio card, so I did a quick portrait of the subject, Melissa LeBlanc,  on the black background to mimic the look of the example I was given. Then I did a quick graphic layout for the card and added the text and then printed them on card stock and cut them into individual pieces. This is something that I'm glad I have a small graphics background for, it really helps in this business to know how to do simple things like this.

Especially on tight deadlines.
