This is a recent HDR picture I took for Photo 2. It was late in the afternoon and I used natural light. I like that I was able to capture a natural lense flare.

This is the first of two buddha statue pictures that I had taken for my Photo 2 final. I had to create a picture that demonstrates tone, so I decided to chose this statue as my subject because of the texture of the surface. I set up three lights for this photo, which included two flashes and a backlight. 

This is the second of the buddha photos. I actually discovered this interesting silouhette in the middle of taking the previous photo. I was changing the lights around and then I discovered that the backlight in combination with the product table made an interesting pattern. 

This photo is a part of a photoshoot I did with my best friend who has a passion for cosplay. This was my favorite shot of the photoshoot because I enjoy editing eyes. I did quite a bit of work in order to make her contacts looks more realistic. This was actually one of the last photos we shot, I had her sit down on a bench so that I could get a sharp and steady shot that was tight on her eyes.

This is the photo before I touched up, and enhanced the contacts.

This was the last photo that I had created for my Photo 2 final. I wanted to create a stop motion ink drop photo because I enjoy the organic, wispy shapes that the ink creates as it moves through the water. To create this image I used a square container, liquid food dye, and a tripod. This photo was shot in a lightbox with two lights; one on either side of the box. I had to stick a paintbrush into the center of the vase in order to focus the camera before each series of shots. After each series of shots, I had to reset the entire setup. I had to repeat this process until I captured a drop that was pleasing to the eye.
