Experimenting

A few things today: 

1. Shot Chocolate Macarons

2.Started playing around with text

3.Got my delivery of Vanilla Beans from France finally...(long story short cheaper on ebay then any store in Toronto, but there was a postal strike)

4.Got my new business card sample pack from MOO printer profiles a bit off need to adjust colour and change images

5.A few DIY  projects are going to start happening soon some of which are a camera slider and a soft box for my SB-900. Will be pretty easy once I round up supplies.
6.Started up a Vimeo (sp?) account the ex film student in me is starting to emerge *Kid Pix Voice* "OH NOOO!".....and yeah I think thats all for now -__-

Too warm in my place filling started to get soft :( 

Still taste good though :)

Macaron recipes pretty much all follow the same recipe give or take various flavours and colour this is the one I used this time but I aged my egg whites for around 3 or 4 days and used a different filling recipe the ends up pretty much the same. Also yeah there will be spelling, grammer and all sorts of errors in that recipe didn't really prof read....me no like english ^_^

Vanilla Beans smell so good! 

The tapes just there to hide my address because that's just dangerous lol 

A few of the sample cards. I can't figure out how to rotate at the moment :(

Currently editing: Raspberry Souffle

Well hello again wink wink nudge nudge.......
I've been told several times this week that I'm weird and to that I say weird or totally awesome!?.....
Seriously though yesterday I made a Raspberry Souffle whoot whoot! Way to hot to be in my kitchen though had a headache for like 5 hours pretty sure thats not normal...so the plan for this week was to do a shoot a day this week being themed desserts but today my brother took over my studio a.k.a my living room and refused to move because god forbid he couldn't go a day without playing Call of Duty on the big screen, dude shouldn't you be in summer school by the way? lol and I also got a call to go to North Campus tomorrow as well so not a lot of time to shot and make everything is there? It also doesn't help that some of the things I was planning to make was a: Raspberry Silk Cake, French Macarons, Ferrero Rocher Tarts and others....can't I ever just make cookies or something? ^_^

Yeah so here's one of the shots I'm currently editing so yeahhhh........

Still For A Moment

Still for a moment.
Generally I never shoot still life i.e fruits & Vegetables never seems right when I do it rather blah maybe thats because I never have any direction to go with it or something meh. Did a random shoot today had one idea in mind but my limitations in my knife skills stopped me from completing task one and changing it up completely fruit salad to follow. Second shoot was of Red Chili Peppers and Pepper Flakes shot on some wood planks I destroyed the other night to get a distressed feel, can't wait to shoot like a rustic food shot but that will have to wait for a while think im going to stop styling and shoot for a bit after I finish of what I have in my fridge and concentrate on editing previous sessions and work on my book and hopefully somewhere in all that get a job ...^.^

Started as a pear, apple, & fennel salad tower but I failed @ slicing thin enough pieces 

so I'll try again in the future,  but in the meanwhile heres a apple, pear, banana, orange, walnut and olive oil salad....can you tell I just raided the kitchen? lol 

2 out of 3 distressed planks

While editing these decided to use clamps to stop my hair from blowing because of the fan....I enjoy thinking outside of the box =P

(Theres no emoto for the face im making right now which is sad T_T)

Sick, exams, and tons of images.

        The Toronto weather has caught up to me and pretty quickly this year. I find my self stealing my younger brothers sweaters just to keep warm; my nose burns so much I want summer back :( Coming to the end of semester 3 here at Humber almost time for Christmas 16days! which means I can sleep and no more assignments! I'll finally have time to kick back sleep till 4pm and work on personal projects. Speaking of Humber and assignments here's one of the lastests ones recently edited for my commercial photography class of an electronic. 

Long Beautiful Beeeeeer!(hair)

         So the title really has nothing to do with this shoot except that I replaced hair with beer....honestly its just been one of those days where nothing goes right and you want to jump of a cliff and just sleep for eternity.....but I'm not going to do that I'll try my shoot again tomorrow when I haven't been running on 4hrs of sleep a granola bar and didn't just spend the past 4 hrs setting up a pow wow at school.....yup hyst one of those days.

So this was from a shoot I did last Wednesday in studio. This is edit #1. This isn't the original idea I had planned shit happens and restrictions are applied :( but I'm still pleased with the outcome so far.

Let's be a copy cat shall we?

Okay so this is an assignment we recived in my program at Humber College to recreate an AD of our choosing back in first year semester 1. I just remembered it since that's the current project the first years are working on now. But why the heck did I have to choose one of the toughest ad's out there? I'm clearly not a food stylist nor do I know one as of yet. So that was a lot of wasted tomatoes and multiple studio time and just ended up with me shooting it at home with available light lol. P.s the logo wasn't the same since it was their 100th anniversary that should have been a sign right there.....

First one is the original from the agency McCann Erickson, London. And the bottom one the right is mine :)
(even more off then I remembered =P)

Drink up

A commercial shoot I did last year. First time using a Hassablad that was a barrel of fun, my Macbook loved Phocus.......let's just say I'm glad I upgraded my computer this year since all my commercial work is done with a Hassie.
