Products

I know it's not real glamorous, but after a lot of consideration, I think I'd ideally like to be doing product photography as a profession. I'll always be able to pursue personal projects, but for the bill-paying, I think this is the most enjoyable and appropriate path for me. I'm not a people person. I like people and I get along with most, but I'm not very good at trying to direct people or work with people in a leadership role, which makes most people photography very difficult. I imagine I'll eventually become more confident in my abilities and be able to do other subjects, but right now, I just want to work with things. With that in mind, I've begun seeing what I can do with things around the house, starting with the pantry. I'm still experimenting and learning my flash, and all these were taken with it as the main light source.




I'm pleased with what I came out with. I plan on working more on my Photoshop skills, as well, so I can get work retouching photos. Again, not glamorous, but I'm just not a glam kind of gal.

I'm going to be holding my studio demos for my beginning students on 3/23 (Mon) at 6pm and 3/24 (Tues) at 6pm for my intermediate students.

If you are interested in sitting in, you're welcome.

We can also meet up sometime to play in the studio still if you'd like

Thanks Steve!

Okay, I guess I gotta stop chickening out and actually take you up on this offer you keep putting out. I know you're busy right now, though, with teaching, what is it, five classes? So maybe I should just crash one of your demos until the semester's over?
