This is a shot of a Black Eyed Susie I did for Large Format portfolio. I attached 3 4x5 Sinar Bellows together to get the macro affect. I used the Farrell strobe to light it and hotlights to focus. Don't ask how long it took to focus 3 bellows.
This is a portrait of Bobby Cox, in his newly completed log cabin. I shot this portrait to be included as part of my "Quick Hit" photo-story for photo-journalism class. I used white lightning strobes to light the background, and a vivitar 285 to light the subject.
The above image was shot for large-format portfolio. This was a macro set-up of colored toothpicks stuck in some Styrofoam. The light source was a Farrell light with some minor fill (too small of an object to noticeably accent). I Flügged a lot to show major distortion and fall-off.

This shot was done for our Bio-Portrait class' "Outdoor" Portrait that we had to shoot on location, using flash, while balancing it with available light. For this particular shot, I used a viv-285 w/ soft box, coming in from the left, to light the subject (Kathryn), while placing the subject in the available sunlight's rays. I was attempting to have the sun come through as a hair light. This was shot in Blowing Rock, NC, off of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
This photograph was taken at the end of last summer over break. It is scanned in E-6 film that I retouched and color-managed to look semi-antique. I liked the curve of the pool and the straightness of the subject (my girlfriend Kathryn). Shot with available daylight.
This photograph was taken for small format portfolio, in which one object had to be metal. I grabbed a spoon from the kitchen and shot it, loving the detail in the texture, as well as the symmetry. I used two large diffusion screens lit with 750's, while gobo-ing the background hard, to keep light off of it.
This photograph is from Summer semester small format class, in which we had to create a "how to" video. My subject was "How to climb boulders", which was mostly shot on location in Boone, NC. The climber shown is Yonathan Lewit. I used a vivitar 285 on a light-stand for lighting.
This photograph was done for the "Environmental Portrait" in Bio-Communications Photojournalism class. Pictured above is Ann Cutter, a Biology teacher at Randolph Community College. I lit the scene using two vivitar 285's, one front/side lighting the subject, and the other behind the subject with a folded amber gel attached. I constructed the scene to be symmetrical, while still personalizing the subject through her surroundings.
