Finals are coming up, like 2 weeks of actual class time and lab and the last 3rd week's gonna be final critiques and one scantron exam. For this project I planned it out a lot earlier to not have to rush through this shoot. I have mentoring my friend and co-worker Sho, who happens to have a LEGIT Nikon D90

Theme for this shoot was bright color contrast and rules apply that we must use one specific color schema. Basically a summary of all the elements of color photography we learned in the class: mood, schemas, color balance etc. etc.

We're allowed up to 3 shots if we're telling a story or making some kind of connection between the 3 images. Mine don't really tell one so I gotta choose just ONE.

#1_I like the summer feel of this picture, the complimentary colors and the grain. Accurate feeling and mood of Memorial Weekend

#2_This was my original picture I chose but after long comparative objective analysis I chose the first one

#3_I was so stoked on the outfit, cosplay at the beach...a waiter commented on her outfit lol

#4_I like how the analogous colors compliment her natural skin tone which blends into her hat and hair

I took about 80 shots all together, had a steady flow throughout the whole shoot, poor Moco had to change in the car while me and Matt my lighting assistant for the day waited outside...nice weather, really unfamiliar with the whole area but we managed to find a few locations.

Note to self: study and know your location and it's geography

Special Thanks:

Sho Fujikawa_for sticking through the "lessons" haha, sorry for being such a harsh "teacher"

Matt Calimbas_for riding shotgun in traffic all day and for blessing me with STUNNING light for the shoot

Sachi Ishioka Roque_for making the wardrobe HAPPEN! that dress was the cherry on top

Moco Woods_for all the time taken out of your busy "errands" to stick around to have meetings, dress rehearsals and the shoots. For that kind of commitment and the quality that came out of it I wreckin' other people would charge an arm and leg, so thank you for volunteering!

みんなさんお疲れさまでした
