This photoshoot was for my Advanced Portraiture class. The point of this assignment was to play with multiple umbrellas. The set up used is shown below. There was really no theme in this, just beauty shots of my friend Calysta Sarah who is an incredible model and photographer.

This is a series I did for my Editorial Photography class. 

For those who don't know, Editorial Photography, often confused with Photojournalism, is a way of photographing that tells a story or sends a message, but unlike Photojournalism, Editorial Photography is made to be a staged production. 

This assignment is an eight page fashion spread. My inspiration comes from a more innocent side of American Youth. I wanted it to be soft, and beautiful as opposed to the more aggressive side that you see today in the different rallies and protests all over America. I guess I was going for a more Vietnam era of natural beauty and peaceful protest.
