Lynn Radio: Mark Kincaid

I tagged along with my friend and dj Mark Kincaid for his radio show at Lynn University's Knight Radio. You can tune into his live sets Tuesday 5-7pm and Thursday 3-6pm eastern time. You can also listen to some of his mixes over at his Soundcloud

We took a couple photos on the way out for him to use for promotion. The statues of people are part of a scene of a group of people taking a picture for an actual photographer statue. I thought it was weird that they are looking different directions.

 

Surveillance

As part of my Photojournalism class at school, one of the assignments was to create an entry for the World Photo Organisation's Student Focus Competition. The guidelines for the competition were that your image should draw on themes explored within the Tate Modern’s Exposed: Voyeurism, Surveillance and the Camera exhibition. I chose to focus my image around surveillance. My idea was to capture the moment of a girl walking in an alleyway clutching her purse as she notices she is being followed. This is definitely one of those times were I visualized what I wanted in my head and was able to create it pretty spot on to what I imagined. It feels good when you can put something together in your head and execute it to a t. While I wanted it to be lit nicely I still wanted to keep the mood of an alleyway at night. Here is my final image.

Here are some others from the night. The model is Kiersten Wallace  

Environmental Portrait: Cesar

Cesar is a friend from school and fellow photographer. I was putzing around on Facebook as I tend to do sometimes when I'm bored and came across this photo Cesar took of his room.

I've been interested in photographing some new environmental portraits and thought his room would be a great setting. The walls are his progressive canvas for phrases and photographs including some of his work. . My goal was to keep the lighting consistent with the mood of the room. The light on the right is coming from the one window of the room. For the most part I incorporated the window light and added some pop to light Cesar. I feel like the first image captures Cesar and his room the best. What's your favorite?
