A little editing fun.

A couple of my favourites from the past semester at Fanshawe! I've really been enjoying playing around in Photoshop throughout the past year. Lots of inspiration from the creative world of advertising. 

Below you'll see a Heinz ad that i recreated for a 'Kopy Kat' assignment. Though I can not take credit for the original composition, I did recreate the shoot from scratch and completed all the edits myself. Love the way it turned out and it actually won me a Distinguished Achievement award at this year's Photography Awards Gala! Very proud.

I had a lot of fun hand drawing the smoke effect in the Dior image below. Can't wait to experiment more with similar effects over the next year.

Warhol Inspired

I am a big fan of Andy Warhol and his innovative work. As an aspiring commercial photographer I was happy to work on this assignment with my good friend Megan. It was a fun challenge working with bubble gum. I'm sure Megan would be happy never having to be a gum model again.. I think we went through a pack of Hubba Bubba and maybe 100 different bubble shots in an hour.

Eleven Hundred

Cloudy days can be perfect for shooting reflective surfaces. The light hitting the detailing on this motor created great contrast! 

The Still Life, Life

Like many graphic design projects I work on, I like to create clean monotone images. Here is a picture of some eggs I took in studio. The soft light falling on the eggs creates a nice gradient across the various rounded shapes in the shot -  something I want to explore more of.

Where Does Your Inspiration Come From?

This, my friends, is the cork board I have hanging above the computer in my room. Sure it's messy but it comes in handy when I have creative road blocks . Here's how. I tack up a little of everything, all inspiring. Concert tickets, post cards, business cards, colourful pictures, written ideas and just about anything I think would feel at home on my board of wonder. I am pretty sure this is what my brain looks like if you could see inside my head- a jumble of colours, patterns and random word play I save for the perfect project.

The magnified business card on the right was the first logo assignment I was given. I felt pretty proud looking at my design on a card that was printed for a regional company.

Because It was Worth It.
