The other day i was browsing flickr and i came across this awesome idea this guy came up with to shot for a year http://www.flickr.com/photos/st3f4n/sets/72157616350171741/. It makes the inner geek in me come out and say that is pretty freaking awesome.

David Luraschi is a photographer that i stumbled upon today when i was one the vectroave website today.

I really love his use of using reflections and long exposure photographs.

 I really love this photograph i like how you see a reflection of him turning the light off but
 it makes you think because its not him because there is no reflection of the window or
 the red pillows.

 I really like how the reflection of something covers the subjects face it makes me want to look at it longer then if it were just the subject through a window it really adds to the photograph.

I love all the reflections in this photograph i like that the photograph it self is a reflection and the composition is really nice. I like the reflection to the  right complements the photo.

So ive been shooting more in the studio and  am now experimenting with background colors and textures here are a few tell me what you think.

The Studio

On Thursday i plan on visiting the photo studio to continue on my photos for specialization. While im in there i plan to experiment more with color in my photographs i have experimented a little with the different colored backgrounds with different products which i have like alot better then just a plain white background since the products are so bold. I really like the dark blue background the best but i am have trouble finding a martial for backgrounds that is big enough that doesn't have much a of a texture. So far i have been using tissue paper which really isnt working because it crinkles to easily and i dont like the texture that it gives off in the back ground (shown below)

Also in the studio i am  going to be working on some shots for my magazine which is demonstrating how to paint with light. For this i will be doing a step by step photos so show the best way to paint with light and add small captions under each picture discribbing what should be done to achieve the proper effect of painting with light.

Specilization

For specialization Manol  asked me to recreate this picture (above) in which i need to use bright colors and have my product in her hand or near her arm with my product (below). I don't know how well this will work because the colors dont get go together. But i dont know how i want to get the bold color in the background weather to use a heavy paper and put it behind them and instead of using the sink i may just leave it out or use a lamp where it bends and i could position it like the sink above.

Also as i was looking at other Kohler image and i came across this image that i think i am going to use with using my product maybe not the exact colors of the product but i like the overall feel of the lower image using different colors to show the different sides of the product.
