Studio Journal - My Dad

I've been thinking a lot about what my interiors work is turning into and after taking pictures again at my house, I started to think about photographing my father. He's 75 years old and his age, as well as health is beginning to catch up on him. It is an extremely sensitive subject for me and I am hoping that this can serve as a type of "phototherapy."

Here are a few shots from when we hung out together a few weekends ago.

Studio Journal - Jo's Apartment

A few pictures from a shoot this weekend. I accomplished exactly what I set out to do and I am very happy with how these turned out. This is probably one of my favorite interior spaces that I have investigated so far and I have a feeling that I will be back there soon. The lighting was beautiful and the bright wall colors lent to some beautiful photographs.

The Italian Files

I am finally getting around to scanning more of my film from Italy last year. The first two images are from Venice and the last from the tower in Verona. It is nice to see where my style began to really come into its own, since I feel photographing so much while studying abroad really helped me be more decisive with my pictures.

Studio Journal - Home Part 2

On Saturday I decided to revisit my house and take some more pictures. I focused more on cropping, as well as photographing more rooms and sections of my house. I definitely approached it with a different perspective than my last project and I am happy with my results. This weekend I have at 2 shoots planned in different houses, so we'll see how it goes.

Studio Journal - Seeing Through Things

I managed to scan some black and white film from my time in Italy. There is evidence that my idea has been sitting around in my mind for quite a while now in terms of spaces. I love the idea of seeing through things--down alleyways, through doorways, windows, etc. Also, stark contrasts between light and dark.
