Fun with Color

-

I got myself a new light to practice more with external lighting, and instead found myself playing around with the color/mood of the shots a lot more. While keeping myself in similar poses, I wanted to see how the angles and colors of each shot let to a different feeling.  With the shots displayed, the only major changes were the lighting of each. Red clearly gives of a more dramatic, lively feel. In my eyes, I see very much a nighttime bar/music venue just with the lighting alone. The image saturated in red gives the impression to the viewer that there is a large amount of activity on the other side of the camera. When we take a look at the yellow shot, despite a similar composition a different conclusion is drawn. In my eyes the yellow shot seems to be taking place in a shopping center or a city hotel lobby late at night, and while there is still something going on behind the lens, it is not nearly as rowdy as portrayed in the red shots.

OMAHA FASHION WEEK: VERUS

       Welcome to VERUS Season. Taking inspiration from the Latin word, our designers for this Fall/Winter Season offered the most genuine, authentic insight they could provide into the world of fashion design. Through their creations, we can see the characteristics valued in each showcase, and understand the personality of each designer without them uttering a word, or revealing themselves to us at the end of their collection's walk down the runway. Each night was filled with vastly different formats of fashion, from avant-garde statements on the sacrificial nature of fast fashion and the impermanence of earthly materials, to an expression of the uniqueness each person possesses due to their specific upbringing and the cultures they are raised around. Night by night visitors to Omaha Fashion Week were greeted by a volley of color and construction that astounded even veteran attendees. Multiple instances of single-night ticket holders opting to return the following night should ind

Lower-light Self Portraits

    Inspired by cinematic style shots, I have curated the selection below to display a more simplistic setup for photography. Using store brand lamps, a phone flash, and a tripod, I found it was still possible to create a fun lighting situation that reminds me of a still from a movie. I find myself making photos much cooler in light temp, so with these low light shots I wanted to try and experiment with a warmer hue.
