Eric Ellington with Catharsis performing at the Hip Hop Helps Concert, which was benefiting the Amani Children's Foundation. The foundation helps children orphaned by AIDS in Africa, and at the concert money was collected for a Jason Kendall Ray Memorial Fund. Ellington perfromed with two of his brothers; Jonathan Ellington, 17 on gutiar, and Andrew Ellington, 14 on drums. Craig Johnson, 15, is the bassist and third member of Catharsis.
Some pics from Studio Class on tuesday. Pat made Aya model, and wanted to dramatically light her as she smoked. But she had just quit smoking...she kept saying and yet as the pictures show... I don't know if Pat kind of forced her too or if was just to tempting. But Lauren took some pics of Aya, and we used the flash heads to shoot a small system setup and practiced overpowering the sun.
1.A few of us got bored during class.
2. our lovely studio
3. Rachel's food illustration.
4. Eli trying to get the good angle.
Chris Thompson, host of Latenight STV (the tv show i work on), was my model for my location portraits which we shoot in the STV studio.
My friend Matt helped me with my first studio assignment by modeling. I think it turned out well.
After Lauren got her main shot, we experimented a little with a disco ball. The first three shots are with the strobes firing, and it gave of this interesting light. I love the reflections from the disco ball, in the last photo Pat was telling us to try and capture a burst from the reflections on the disco ball but the best i could manage was some lens glare (though I still think it looks cool).
Some shots from the studio today. Cool stuff, two simultaneous shoots, Allie and Lauren both get their studio portraits done.
These are just some pics from the studio last thursday (1-24).
1. Pat showing us how to do some cool shilouette photos.
2. Selket brought her snake, and i really like how i used logan as a frame.
3.I shilouetted Chris with some window light from the doorway.
4. Everyone shooting Chris with the snake. he had really cool earrings.
Some one light pics of Abby ( i think) from thursday when we were just messing around in the studio. The first is my favorite.
