5 days of school left

Well now the easter holidays is about to finish but there are only 5 days left of school so there are many things left to do. I'm currently working on my final project and it is a photo essay about a man living in a post-apocalyptic world. I have already photographed almost all the photos I need and I have made sketches for everything, but there is a lot of photoshop work left. I took photos of the model in the studio at my school and I'm creating the surroundings from scratch. Now I have not blogged for for to long so there are several projects that I have to post.

This project was about photographing movement in several forms, that includes, panning, zooming, 2sync, freezing and moving object. My theme was traffic just after a rainy day. I enjoyed this project, specially the 2sync, it came out exactly as I planed and I will definitely do more 2sync. I would have liked to do the zoom bater but it was the best I got by the time I had to turn it in.

80 minutes around the world.
This was an exercise in photoshop that we had to make before we did the manipulation I posted this on my flickr a bit after I did the manipulation because it was just an exercise and we had to use a background photo from someone else. I got the photo from commons.wikimedia.org so I didn't take it without permission. I wanted to make it look more realistic so I brought my traveling trousers and my old film camera that I often use on my travels.

In this project we were paired with a first year student from the jewelry major. It was an interesting project we had to come up with an idea, it could either be all the same theme or separated themes. I decided not to use the same theme for all the photos but just use what I like for each piece. The photo with the two rings I got a lot of help from my classmate Þórdís and by the way its my wool sweater in the background, I think it looks so good as a background.

In this project we worked with students from the hairdressers major. I worked with a girl called Kristín Kristmundsdóttir. I got the idea of this shot from a paper about hair styles, first I was going to do a more poses but I was put first in line and I was given not so long time for this shot because others were waiting. I hope I can do something like this again so I can practice more and hopefully then I can take as much time as I need.

This is a project that I just loved, the model was perfect and yummy since it was noodle soup. I really enjoy taking photos of food and I'm definitely going to do more of this. I'm thinking of taking photos of Thai dishes when I go to Thailand, but then I will just use natural light because that's just enough for photographing food but I will use a reflector as well. Well enough about that, here I used only the lamp on the studio light with a big soft-box on the studio light and some natural light as well.
