Folio board #1 (almost)

This is my first folio board, almost finished.


There's another row of photos that I need to edit a bit and then add to the bottom, and I want to edit some of the other ones a little more, but otherwise, I'm pretty happy with it so far.

Next: incorporating artist models in my work (after actually finding artist models).

Lotsa new photos

Here is a contact sheet for all of my new photos from last week and today, working around grouping and arranging my subject matter together. I still want some help deciding which ones should go on my folio (hint hint, Mrs Clemence).

Another new shoot

Today I finally took some photos using different subject matter:



I was playing around with the chess pieces and the way the light shines through them when I got the first image of the frosted pieces. I thought the tones in the photo looked really nice, so I tried to replicate the photo with the unfrosted pieces. I love the effect the light has on the different kinds of glass, and I think I want to use these two on my folio.

I also took a few more photos using the mask and the books, paying attention to the contrast of light and darkness:



I've also thought about using an idea I had for my painting folio, of using a sort of narrator throughout my photos to connect all of the subject matter together, using either my hands or some else's, so I'm going to explore this idea in my next shoot and see how it works.
