#52WeekProject: 2/52

Posted on by

Week 2 of my 52 week project:
So my friends, Samer and Sameer, had asked me to come over and take some photos of an end table they have for their startup, Unbranded Designs, but while I was shooting, Virgil decided to join in on the fun. I shot this using a couple of off camera flashes, with a shoot through umbrella on the left, and a reflective umbrella on the right. I used a black muslin as a backdrop, but ended up doing a little photoshopping to bring the contrast out in the photo.

#52weekproject: Week 1 – Madison & Wabash

In an effort to go out and take (better) photos, I’ve decided to engage in a 52 week project. Each week, I will put some effort toward taking a quality photo, and will attempt to post one photo every week. It might seem like I started a month late, but really, I procrastinated until the Vietnamese New Year to get started.

No set subjects or themes, just whatever I happen to put some thought towards each week. So, if you have suggestions/topics/locations/ideas, I’d love to hear them.

Photo actually turned out better than expected, so, I may have set the bar a little high the first week.
