One day the holy spirit came over me and I suddenly began work on my digital portfolio. I’m not so happy with it but I’m still proud of it. Its a small step I’m taking to begin to be my own boss. I’m definitely grinding, on You Tube learning techniques and PhotoShop tricks. I have a very big vision with my photography and it has nothing to do with money. I hope to one day use the camera as a tool in my art work. A different way for me to express my self. I personally have no interest in shooting people, but its something I think I have to do for now in order to gain means to expand my self. You’ll also see various photos of me posing, I also have no interest in being shot but I use my self because I’m easily disposable when I get ideas. Working on my portfolio I realized that I have to change the angle in which I shoot. I found that I could have scraped about 95% of my stock photography, thats how unhappy I was with them when viewing them from a 2nd perspective. I hope one day to dabble in film photography and learn the classic methods of photography.
Real Depth Of Field is a metaphor I created. By definition Depth of field is the sharp portion of an image captured by a camera. In the same way I feel I have a deep, clear (sharp) knowledge of things in front of me.
Like I said, I have a long way to go, but I finally have something of substance that I can challenge my self with. I hope to sweat but I’m most looking forward to bleeding.
Let the growth of a man begin.
Below are the designs I created for my Business cards. Inspired by the display settings on my Canon Rebel XSI and the LCD screen of my speedlite flash. The back of the first card is the front of an SLR camera. The idea is that you hold the card up to your face and pretend to take a photo, while the front of the card is the display setting. The back of the second card shows my speedlite flash while the front is the LCD screen for the flash. If you line both cards on top of each other you’ll see that the flash attachés to the top of the SLR.
