Brainstorming Photos

Asturias (May 2009)

Here are my top 40-something pictures from my trip to Spain. The northern region where I stayed is called Asturias, and I lived in a city called Gijón. I stayed there for 3.5 weeks for my senior internship. I shadowed various schools (ranging from toddlers to college students), made comparisons between the education systems in Spain and in the U.S., as well as helped out in English classes, lived like the Asturianos, and of course, captured it all on film. Hope ya like!

I’ve had all kinds of fun snapping photos of the boys from my favorite band, Fools & Horses. It helps that they’re from Baltimore and don’t mind playing close to home. Not to mention, they’re very photogenic! Some of these photos have been sitting in my library, half-edited for weeks. But I FINALLY got my act together and picked out my favorites. After you enjoy the photos, check out their website: http://foolsandhorses.net/social/ , and listen to their music! Even my father approves! Sincerely Sophie

The following are three locations I'd like to use (photographically) in the future:

This could be a cool spot for a fashion shoot. I thought of tying the white materials in to a motif of white clothes--possibly bridal? Who wants to lend a new wedding dress to an ameatur photographer to use in the middle of a dilapidated green house in Israel??? Speak up, I can't hear you!

I want to master long-exposure night time photography. This might be a fitting location for scene from a dream. I won't give too much of my idea away so that hopefully I'll be able to show the results later.

I'm not sure what should be going on here. This is my friend's basement. I could either just light it really well (and get to know the creative lighting system ala Joe McNally) to put focus on selective objects or bring in characters to the scene, while using this as the background. I'm not sure what kind of characters I would want to put here, if any at all. It needs some more thought.

What do you think?

Sincerely Sophie

I always like to keep characters in the basement! Maybe Big Bird, he/she is bright yellow and would stand out, but there could be feathers all over the place, then there are those really big and pesky yellow eggs :)

I think you should do a neon fashion shoot in the white area- neon is really in for spring, and it would look cool against the white.

I was thinking bridal for the first pic. I have a gown you can borrow (that is if you don't think you'd ever want to use it). How about a "where's waldo" addition to the last pic?
