That Willow Smith song: Photographer: Karla

This is a start of a series of photographs that I'll be doing on men with long hair. I like the idea of dressing these guys up in nice clothing and having them head bang. It's fun not really knowing exactly what I was going to come up with. I think the next step is to take them out on actual locations rather than the studio. I think it would be cool to see them in fancy rooms in nice clothing just head banging away. We'll see how it goes though, I found this hotel I really wanted to shoot at and was told it would cost me 5,000 to shoot there and that was their "student rate". Give me a break.

Portrait: Photographer: Karla

Just a simple black and white portrait I took over the summer. I took the summer term off and was really wanting to shoot. So I put the casting up for a model, had her wear this dress and snapped some photos. We wound up walking around the queen mary in long beach. You'd think that I would have chosen a photo with all the boat stuff in the background but I like this one the most. Maybe just because its simple and pretty :)

Week 12: Karla : Photographer

It's been a while! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and I just wanted to say I'm totally loving the type that Ophelia did on my ice cream photograph. :)
So...these two photos were part of a series I did a few terms ago. I found some really beautiful headbands at Nordstroms and wanted to do a shoot that incorporated them. I really like how dark skin photographs and I liked how the color seemed to pop. Since this shoot I've switched my focus to food photography but I think my love for color never changes. :)

Week 6 Damon Casarez

These are two of the better shots for fashion this week. I have been struggling in this class for the last 5 weeks and I have finally shot some images that I like. Paul has been insisting that I have more movement and narrative in my photos, both for fashion and my personal work. I finally showed him a couple books of photographers that I look at and he was glad I brought some work and he understands what I like now. I don't shoot a lot of movement in my photographs, but I always try to include narrative. I included the lights and cords in the shot to add a bit a narrative to the shot.
