Photography

So as a Graphic Designer I should have some designs, however haven't had time to post as often as I wanted to. So here are some photos I shot for my final project in my Digital Photography class. Fortunately I had an amazing instructor who was very knowledgeable on the subject, unfortunately she no longer teaches.

The jpg of them was very discolored so i used the direct link. So I want to talk a little about these photos, these were both for my final project which was called Staged to Sell, we needed to shoot photos of a product or a service that would be used as an advertisement, one with text the other without.
I think the bamboo tablet works very well, it looks a lot more serious than other ads that I have seen for the bamboo line of tablets. With the lighting of my ghetto studio it gave the tablet a really soft spot light toward the bottom of the tablet making it look very epic. The text I used worked out even better than I thought it would because it is basically labeling the product "An Extension of Your Creativity" I like it. I also looks as if it is waiting for you to pick it up and play with it.

As for the Chucks, these were a lot easier to sell as they are easily recognizable. I basically used the same lighting from the other photo but took the photo from a different angle. The light gave the the shoelaces a really rough texture which looks awesome. I used an old pair my own I didn't want to use new shoes because old ones just look better. Overall very epic.
