Samuel Douglass!!! So this is one of the photo shoots for my BFA and i wanted to give everyone a little glimpse of the other images that didn't make it into to the show! He thought he wasn't a good model (natural), but the photos turned out brilliant!

Kaleidoscope- A cluster of colors entwined

BFA!!!! So I'm kind of excited cause this is pretty much my life's work while in school. So I'm in the Photography program at BYU Idaho and we do a final project which takes 2 Semesters and this is my project!!! If you're in Rexburg at the moment i would go check out the BFA show in the Spori Art Gallery and on the 3rd floor of the Spori! There are so many talented students this semester and i know for a fact that you will feel inspired! So Let me know what you think of my project! Comments are always helpful!

So i decided that it was time to experiment with film a little more. So i borrowed a camera from the photo Lab and went out shooting at f1.7 and took several portraits. Film looks so amazing i LOVE it!!!

This is Haylee and she is freakin cute!!! This is also one of my BFA shoots and she was kind enough to let me dress her as a small child but it was totally worth it cause they turned out so great!!!

This is my beautiful friend Courtney! This is one of my photo shoots for my BFA I really liked how they turned out. Im thinking of using this for the color yellow!

So Maddy and i went out to this old abandoned house on halloween (creepy) and spent almost half the day taking photographs. It was pretty much amazing! I was also re-creating images that photographer Ralph Meatyeard took. But i used the hassilblad, so when i get the film developed and scanned ill put some of those images up. But these are just a few digital photos i took!

2009-10-13T09:53:00.000-07:00

Here are two examples of what i will be doing for my photography BFA project!!! Im pretty excited about it. I will be doing all the colors of light red,blue,green,yellow,cyan,magenta. And i will also include Black and white. I will take 12 pictures for each color and arrange them just like you see below!

One fine and brilliant evening my roommates and i decided to support some friends at their flag football game. Little did we know that it would end up SNOWING!!!! Of course being in Rexburg i should expect anything. So i decided to embrace the unexpected and take a few shots of the gloriousness around me.

As i continue with my goal to take photographs where ever i go i have come to realize how much i enjoy the simple things that happen around me and Im not going to lie i love being an artist because we seem to see details many people may overlook. For example... Laughter!! This has to be at the moment my favorite expression to capture. You can't help but smile when looking at a photograph of someone laughing and you are left to wonder what was so funny. I just love it! Thank you for the ability to laugh, it completes me.

CHAIR SERIES! This is my friend Kristen and we decided to walk around what we call downtown Rexburg and found these two chairs sitting behind a building. It was a wonderful find!

2009-09-22T15:27:00.000-07:00

This is a continuation of my Chair series. This is my friend Mike and he had this really neat green chair he picked up at a pawn shop so we actually went back and took photos where he purchased the chair and they turned out pretty neat! Also notice the delish Robe he found in his fathers closet (It adds a nice touch to the photos).

Last semester for my historical processes class out las assignment was to pick and shoot a series of something. I decided to do my series on people with neat chairs. I put a few photos up from this series but i wanted to show several photos from each shoot. So to start this is my sister Hillary and i put her in front of this neat painted wall by our house. We used this sweet yellow chair my mom found at a garage sale. The photos turned out so much better than i thought and i like how the planes look real. But anyways, enjoy!

School has started and i am back in Rexburg Idaho. Since the weather here is completely unpredictable and the glorious heat from the sun won't last much longer an outing to Egin Lake was taken place. Egin Lake is a pretty fun place to bask in the sunshine because it is very shallow and we often play football and frisbee throughout the water. But this place is also brilliant because it is on the side of the Saint Anthony sand dunes. So if you find the right place sand will surround you and if you open your mind its almost as if you were at the ocean even though you are surrounded by algae infested waters. I decided that every outing i take ill bring my camera along and try my best to create some delightful photographs. So theses are a few i took while at Egin Lake. ENJOY!!!

Marcus and Haleigh... This was such a fun shoot we took some shots at the "Flour Girls and Dough Boys Bakery" in American Fork. We also walked around downtown American Fork, which have an old timey feel to it. We also found a neat field of sunflowers in Alpine. Im just super excited for marcus and haleigh to spend their lives together and Im glad i was able to document their Love in a small way!

I just got the 50mm f1.8 lens for canon and I'm pretty much in LOVE!!! So these are a few Photographs i took of my little sister at the bakery she works at "Flour Girls and Dough Boys" in American Fork. But this lens seems to make every photograph so magical! I recommend it to everyone and the price makes you love it even more.
