A Lesson in Abstraction

Invigorated by the exploration of the spring color abstractions, I spent another afternoon wandering around the city with cell phone camera in hand. This new series is quite a bit more interpretive and demands as much of the viewer as they want to get out of it. Since my typical studio work places much more of an emphasis on refined lighting and finesse of the subject, I enjoyed the freedom and lack of control that the cell phone camera provided me. Without my face being glued to the camera, I was free to be more present in the process. I hope that is evident in the images.

Product Photography

I have been working on a lot of product shots lately and while not the most excitable work out there, I thought I would share.

Colors and Seasons

Inspired by the changing temperature, the blooming flowers, and the bluer skies, nature pushed me out of the house and mandated an exploratory shoot of sorts. These images were shot with my cell phone camera. The slower shutter speed as dictated by the cell phone in lower light situations allowed for some interesting motion blur. On the whole, these images exist as shot. I made some minor curves adjustments and boosted the saturation a touch, but the strange hues were caused by how the cell phone camera handled different color temperatures outdoors in the changing light of day.
