I have loved taking pictures since I was in junior high. I remember one year for Christmas, my parents gave my sister a nice camera (at the time). It was like a Kodak 2mp camera and I loved it. She put it down at a family party and I picked it up and started photographing and after that she didn't see her camera very much.
I attended Snow College and I went down there because I was offered a job as the School Student Photographer. I got to have a special pass to every event and I stood on the sidelines at all the football, basketball, volleyball games. I also traveled to the Richfield campus to photograph the Snow College Orchestra playing with the band Kansas. I absolutely loved that job and would go back in a heartbeat. I was also studying photography down there as well. I received my Associates of Fine Arts and learned so much from the design and drawing classes I was required to take. You truly grow as an artist when you study other art forms as well.
I'm currently enrolled (for another week) in a Digital Imaging class and at first I thought it would be some easy class and I kind of blew it off as not important and just an easy way to get credits. I still think the same way - it's easy and it's definitely not the most important class I'm enrolled in, but it has pushed my boundaries. It has inspired me to get in touch with my creative side more often and I have actually learned a lot about Adobe Photoshop that I probably would have never learned if I continued to lightly edit my pictures like I prefer.
Anyway, here are some of my images.
This was an assignment for my Digital Imaging class called the document of possibility. So here is me with no hair.
This is an editorial layout I had to create. I did the entire image - took the picture in a foam board, makeshift studio. I absolutely love the lighting I got from my speedlite and soft box bouncing off the white boards. I plan on taking more pictures in it.
This is the original of a duotone I had to create - but I fell in love with the original and the duotone will probably just be seen in my class. I love large apertures because of the softness it adds.
In February, my husband and I went to Disneyland and California Adventure and I took this picture in front of California Screamin'. I took this in color, but black and white is so much more powerful.
This is another image from our Disneyland trip. We were waiting in line for Pirates of the Caribbean and I had just gotten a new camera and I wanted to test it's light sensitivity and I was pleased. I absolutely love this picture as well because of the light.
Another Disneyland image. During the firework show a family huddled together and again, I was testing the light sensitivity again and I was very happy with the outcome.
I had also just gotten a speedlite and was testing it out.
And this is me. Ha I gave my camera to my husband. I'm training him, ha ha.
And these next pictures are from a product shoot I did for my independent study and I love it!
Sorry for the picture overload, but it will happen a lot, so get used to it.
Love, Natasha
