To The Palouse we go!

This week I really have rethought how I want to approach my photography and I cant wait to make more photos!

I like to write my blogs on Sundays because if I were to write say on Wednesdays then I still have half the week full of adventures, happiness, and sadness and I have already written a blog for the week so by the time I write another blog I will have new adventures to tell people about.

This week went by very quick because I didn't work much and I had time for myself and it was really enjoyable. It also, Today, was Mothers day. Now since my mom wasn't the best mom to me I had to privilege to spend the day with my mom-to-be-maybe-one-day, my gf's mom. She has been there for me for the last two and a half years and really helped me through a lot and I am so glad I got to spend the day with her and my gf's family. These are some of the photos that I got...

Now to me its funny because I am in the field of commercial photography but these last few weeks I have really decided that I dont want to just do commercial photography, I want to just do whatever photography needs to be done for the client. I get that yes its better to be better and one area of photography but I really dont want to do that. I really dislike knowing that if I choose Commercial photography for example, and I get into that field as a professional, I cant change my area of interest very easily after I establish myself and that would really suck in my opinion. I want to be able to shoot portrait, landscape, commercial, fashion. Anything that gets thrown my way I want to achieve for the client. Until next time.. Stay Classy Spokane.

Watch the watch

This week I think that I was a lot more productive than I usually am because I decided that instead of doing a photoshoot and just getting it to have it approved, I decided that I really want to start doing every shoot for myself. 

Getting a portfolio quality image that I could use to get clients to hire me. 

Yes this week I shot for an assignment but when I planned it I started to forget that it was for an assignment and that it was for my own portfolio. 

I have really been thinking about all the areas of "commercial" photography there is since I have been working on my intership with Jeff Schindler and I really want to open myself to other areas and expand my portfolio to show that hey I can do any kind of commercial photography there is out there and if not then I am very willing to learn and will make you happy with the turnaround. This week I got to photograph a people and product shot and I love it! I cant wait to shoot more and really expand from what I have had to do for my portfolio..

I decided to shoot a watch because I am interested in time and how it helps tell a story just from the photo that it is in. For example- This image is one of my shoots of a pocket watch and I think that just by looking at the watch and the dirty wrinkled hand that is holding it, it really opens up your mind to why? and what is the purpose of showing that..

Now taking from some inspiration online for a fashion advertising shoot I decided that hey lets shoot a watch and really show, the person , who would wear a fancy, oversized, nice and sparkled watch that looks worth about 10 Grand. I think it would be this guy..
