Photochat.

Jen-Portrait
This is a portrait I took of Jen, inside her house. I liked the way the lighting turned out, although I could have also tried something more dramatic.

Allie-Portrait
Here is a portrait of Allie. My shots weren't the sharpest, and they weren't lit very well (not that I knew how anyway) but I did a different style of editing this shot. I kind of like it, it has a different feel.

Train-1
This was shot for an assignment themed "travel". I had two other ideas which didn't fall through in time - I didn't have the things I needed. So I settled for a train and train tickets. It's simple, but I'm slightly happy with it.

PingPong2
This was a shot for an assignment themed "sports". I didn't really have any ideas for this assignment, except for this one. I like the commercial ad type of look, so I went for it!

Cassie Campbell Community Centre Brampton
This was for an architecture assignment. I shot the Cassie Campbell community centre. We had to shoot a building during twilight and get three exposures. One for the sky, one for the building, and one for interior lights. I also added in some clouds. It turned out alright, except that I accidentally shot it at 2500 ISO.

Chemicals!


What better way to stay entertained than to splash random chemicals on napkins in the darkroom while waiting for prints to develop? They're so much fun. I want to make more!

First illustrator attempts.

Kevin-Portrait
This is the very first thing I made in Illustrator, even before the logos. I've had a few attempts with the program beforehand, but it always frustrated me and made me give up, so I started off with basic shapes and tools. This is a portrait of my ex-boyfriend. I was really proud of it, especially after all the problems I ran into but managed to tackle. The idea was that the hair blends in with the background colour. Unfortunately the ex didn't appreciate this as a birthday gift.

Nicole-Portrait
I made this as a birthday gift for my friend. I mixed in a few different methods. Among geometric shapes, I also used more freehand techniques and also traced lines from a photograph of her. The idea was that the skin tone blended in with the background colour.
