Here is a "Picture Of a Bedtime Story" - 3/1/18

Here is a picture that i've had in my head for quite some time now. As I was looking through my local craft store in search for a valentines day present; I stumbled upon this familiar looking glass case. As soon as I saw it sitting on the bottom shelf I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. I've always loved fairy tales and other little fables. I admit I have a large collection of books that I read every night before I head off to sleep. This image is a combination of multiple items that remind me of bedtime stories. Now this particular piece is meant to tell a story, however that story is up to the imagination of the viewer. 

As for my usual technical explanation. I shot this against a black backdrop using a single soft box and my off camera flash. 

Personally I had a lot of fun taking this image and I hope you enjoy it. 

As always feel free to leave any feedback you want. I hope you all enjoy and have a great day. 

"The Energy Of The Forest" - Photo Manipulation - 10/12/16

Today I decided to experiment with some new photo manipulation techniques. The goal was to create an image of a jar radiating what would appear to be mystical energy. The entire purpose of this project was to gain experience with creating artificial light sources during post production. 

Overall I am very pleased with the resulting image and hope to use this technique in future projects. 

If you are interested in a tutorial on how I achieved this effect, feel free to leave a comment down below. As always any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
