Utensil Me:updated

Hello sun and wed its really been too long, last time I left you, I was in the throws of a five week crash course in advertising and I have to report that I think it went really well. I learned more about advertising and still life in those five weeks than the last 3 years. Im sorry ive been a lil apprehensive about posting my advertising still lives, since i have not been able to give them the photoshop love that they deserve. Ad xl was like five weeks of straight shooting, now i feel like i need five weeks of editing, but i havent been so dedicated. But for now I leave you with more utensils light paintings as per request. I used the hosemaster to light these, that awkward black thing wrapped around me in matt kelley’s post. His picture was taken at the end of xl, obviously i hadnt seen enough of the sun. Since the end of my course I effortlessly shook my serious work ethic to return to Maryland for my 21st birthday on july 2. Ethically trading my work for whiskey, ive been well and drunk ever since. I also made a few amazing images while I was there and sober enough to hold a camera, you ll see those later and I promise to be back this sunday with more complex edited still lifes. Cheers!

ps.  Okay so this is an updated look at one of the projects I started in the early days of my five week studio course.  I like the idea of glorifying the mundane, the everyday, and the over looked.  This was an exercise aimed to familiarize me with the lighting technique I would employ for the rest of the class.

    Kick ass man. Seriously, you have to keep these up. I see you took away the third image. I’m not sure why. I think its really nice in the scoop area but i think it’s the handle that makes it not as unique and full of characters as your other items. These two are spot on. The top needs it’s black point fixed up a little and i’d be careful on the bottom image that there’s still a one or two point (atleast) difference between the twists of the handle and the background. The tight crop is pretty interesting because it almost makes the images feel a bit claustrophobic and forces me to stare at the object.
