Coloring

Sometimes I like to play around with the colors in my shots to give the photo more 'mph. With this photo of Daniel Chioco, I liked the pose and lighting, just not the natural colors of the shot. With a bluish filter (actually a yellowish one blended with divide but same thing), I feel like the colors flow better together, and the picture has a little more style. Definitely not something for every single photograph, but here and there when it adds to the overall look.

Posters

So, lately I've been making a few posters for peoples' recitals. They are more graphic design than photography oriented, but I think it's fun. It's a different mindset when you are shooting; you must think about conveying a very specific message, and leaving room for text in the composition.

This was a poster for the amazing Hannah Lee Kettenacker:

I think it turned out nice. I like the colors, and she really liked the zebra stripes. This next one, however, is my pride and joy right now:

Daniel Chioco's Recital Poster. It is probably some of the best photoshopping I've done to date, and I'm pretty proud of that explosion. When shooting, we were going for an action movie feel, and I think the poster captures that really well. It's also playful, for if anyone knows Daniel, he is quite a subdued and calm fellow. Feel free to comment if you like the poster!
