always a challenge to photograph, but they all so stinkin cute!

Phase 3 assignment

This post is about 2 weeks too late! Here are some of my phase 3 assignments. They're kindof random because the assigments were all over the place. But I'm greateful for that challenge. Here we have a high key, low key, executive, outdoor portrait, advertisement and glass shot. I'm no where near content with my work- but this phase taught me a lot. We weren't allowed to use any Hallmark students so I was forced to go out and ask people in my community to model. Each expierence was a great one. I hope you like:

here to stay..

..or at least for now.

I haven't blogged much lately. Probably because; (a.) I've been thinking a lot about switching to a different blog site or starting completely fresh. (b.) I've been thinking a lot about branding myself and I think my most current posts contradict the direction I want to go in. (c.) school is kicking my ass. and (d.) to be honest, most of the photographs I've uploaded here arn't ones I'm necessarily proud of. BUT, I think they show growth and one day, I'll look back at all my posts and remember how great the expierence was or be very excited for how much I've learned.

So, as of now, I am staying here at this blog. In the next few weeks I will be starting up kellyboitano.com (which I'm SO excited about).

I hope you are having a lovely weekend :)

Self Portrait

For this assignments we were asked to find a piece of art that speaks to our soul.  I looked at a lot of art from the 20's and 50's and stumbled upon a piece by Bernard Villemot. I liked the simple and bold colors, the girly-ness, the pose, and those big red lips! So after hours of sowing, cutting, picture taking, editing, re-editing, and blodding fingers later....here is a replication "Bally"..

Miriam & Justin

My friends Miriam and Justin (who are actually dating and very much in love) agreed to model for me for a faux engagement session. They were so cute and fun and so willing and excited to go out and play! So here are some pictures of love, and some good looking faces too:

TGIF! So thankful for for Fridays...and even for 

thankful for 3 day weekends. In the spirt of this happiness,

 I though I'd post a picture of my very first food assignment. 

Love!

CD assignment

Below is my CD assignment for my design class. I used photographs of my friend Miriam and turned into a sassy musician! I used InDesign for creating the layout and Photoshop for the doing the inside cover. I thought it was a pretty cool thing to learn!
