UCSB Gym

This is the entrance to the UCSB gym. There is a constant flow of students that continually come in and out to this facility all hours of the day. The entire UCSB campus offers great architectural photographs, it can be hard to choose which one to shoot. 

Pencil Sharpener

This old sharpener sat gathering dust in an abandon school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The window light struck this old rusting sharpener in such a way to strike my interest as I explored the abandon and trashed school rooms. Its amazing how fast a place can decay when it is no longer inhabited. The walls were covered with graffiti and dirt. Books, chairs and desks were just left to sit and rot away. 

Twilight UCSB

This is part of the UCSB campus at twilight. Twilight occurs after sunset as the sky begins to turn dark shades of blue. The darker the blue sky the more dramatic the architectural photograph could look.  

Bob Golding

Today Bob Golding, or Bobby G. as he is know to many, will be remembered and honored at a memorial held at Antonelli Institute. Bobby G. was a legendary photographer, an outstanding instructor, a mentor and a grandfather figure to many Antonelli students. I am honored and blessed to have gotten to know him. He has inspired and taught me so much. You are remembered and missed by many. Rest in peace Bobby G. 

Portrait

This photograph was taken for an assignment at Antonelli Institute for Art and Photography. The model is Kim Gehr, her hair and make-up was done by Alisha LeDonne both of which are fellow students, friends, and photographers. This particular image was shot in our apartment living room with Alien Bee strobes. The assignment required the use of four strobes, there is a background light, a fill light, a main light, and a bounce light to add a little more pop to the image. This finale image was created after several attempts; I felt that the portrait needed another element to catch the viewers’ attention so I added the fall leaves to the models hair.

CD

These two photographs where taken at an abandon school in Philadelphia on one very cold early morning. I then used these two images to create a CD cover and back for a school assignment.
