Bon Appetit

I wanted to create an unusual but simple image for a food assignment. So I chose to photograph an uncooked fish and simply put it on a plate. To emphasize the fish, I chose to use a black plate with a black placemat which helps draw your attention to the fish. I also added a lemon to the corner of the photograph as a surprise hint of color.

Taylor

The model in this image is Taylor; she was my roommate. This image was taken in a studio using alien bee strobes and a Nikon camera and lens. The vibrant blue background was created using a background light and blue gels attached. The clamshell technique was used to light the model. This is done by having two strobes with soft boxes on them directly in front of her.  This created the two highlights in her eyes.
