Nothing

This is my nothing photo and yes it is of my refrigerator in my apartment. To me this was my best option because what says nothing but an empty ice box. So for this I took everything out my ice box and kept random things in there like water, mustard and butter. Because randomness and emptiness goes hand and hand and I wanted to convey emotion. Some people when they see this photo might get the emotion of sadness and wanting to help the family going through this actual phase in their life so if I did great. The reason why I blacked out everything cause I wanted the viewer to only focus on the empty ice box nothing else in the photo nothing else. I shoot on the floor at 61/60 sec @6.3 f/stop.

Networking

So the question today is how to get your name out in the public eye. What can I do to accomplish this goal that I have set for myself. The first thing I thought of was doing some work for charity and getting name passed on from that. As well as doing some small time advertsing like nothing like billboards. By attending local events with my camera shooting and hope some people notice me or I notice them and we talk from that point on. Networking is all about how bad you want it if you want it bad you get the right people if not you be out of luck and you also need to take some chances as well.

This is my food shot its of a cupcake from a bakery in town I used a 50mm to get a good depth of field and a get the cupcake in crisp focus. I wanted to make the viewer feel hungry like they are there. wanted to really show the chocolate shining off the cupcake and I think I did that. I just wish I had better lighting I just had the ceiling light from the bakery so it was my first attempt to shoot food but it wont be my last.

celebrities fair game

So are celebrities fair game do we photographers have the right to follow these people everywhere and photograph anything they do. Me personally I don't care what they do that just me but from a photographers point of view they are fair game as long it doesn't go to far like evading their privacy. But if there outside getting coffee I can follow them to their car as long its a public place so I say YES. Sadly to say they are public figures in our society as that we can follow them to certain extent and photograph them. But their is a line that we photographers I think don't cross thats we don't photograph them while evading their privacy thats my opinion I will never trespass on their property go in a helicopter and photograph them in their home. I will never be aggresive shooting while their children are around. So photograph them but don't take it to far okay people.

40 Years and More

Right now am 23 years old and am currently working at H&M to pay the bills and support myself but I don't want to do that forever. In 17 years I'll be 40 years old but those 17 years are going to get here fast. So when am 40 years old I hope to be a full time photographer based out of Europe photographing Formula One and Moto GP. This will be my dream to photograph my favorite sport for a living and get paid for it. But I will also photograph the MMA scene when the UFC comes to Europe for their fights. I will be famous for photographing motor sports and being the lead photographer for F1 and Moto GP. One thing I would love to do is something for veterans of the military coming from a military family knowing what these vets go thru I want to some charity work with organzations like wounded warriors to give back to the world. This is my dream I have in life.

Photo Challenge Celebrity

Here is my attempt in becoming a paparazi photographer. It of Slevester Stallone at the Tatto Expo I was sort of yelling at him to look at me and give me a smile so he did. I just had my canon with my on camera sigma flash nothing fancy. Their was a lot of light from the ceiling and other photographers around me but it wasnt a problem. Even though it was my first time it was fun and engaging.

Painting with Light

This is my painting with light challenge so I decided to write FARSCOPE my alter ego in the air. Well about the photo it was taken at f/16 30 sec with 400 ISO. I took a flashlight and my cell phone to write my name and after numerous times I finally got it down and this was my best one. I wanted to to do something that is me and nothing represents myself  than the name farscope. The building in background gave a guide to write name and flowed with the perspective of everything in the environment that was something I just found when looking at the picture on my pc so I lucked out there. This was first time painting with light but this wont be the last I plan on trying out this technique and improving at every one.
