So Spring semester has begun and I am already overwhelmed. Just to think that I will have to do possibly 35 shoots by June is disturbing in itself. Our first assignment was a product on location shoot. The concept is to put the product in a natural environment outside of a studio. Everyone knows I love shooting people not things and one stipulation was no people in the shoot. I had this great idea to hang a dress from a barn and shoot Gain detergent under it in this beautiful sun light. But its January and the weather is bi polar and I’ve never been good at picking the right time of day to shoot. The other idea was golf balls with a broken window. Didn’t pull it off, so I came up with the idea as I was running on my treadmill. Do a product you use daily and enjoy. My theory is to pick something I love that way its easier to formulate an idea. “NAKED”!!! I love that stuff, no not naked people but naked juice. So I picked my favorite and bought the fruit and set it out in yard along an old fence. Here are the sketches of my different concepts. Stay tuned on 2/5/13 where I’ll post the winning shot
