What do you want to do photographically? Tell us with a single paragraph what you want to be able to do with your images. Tell us what you do without telling us you are a photographer. Accompany that message with a single image taken around your home. Inside or out, make a photograph that adds insight into the mission statement you will be writing.
As for the photograph… think long and hard about it. It should reflect your mission statement as best as possible. It can be done indoors or outside. I only want you to to shoot around your house/apartment as an exercise in creativity. Sometimes we have to make do with what we have… and I want you to make do for an important photograph without leaving your yard. That is the extent of the rule.
So with a bit more thinking, I went on to try and finish my mission statement. I think this is it:
We bring imagination to life.
Through creative lighting and editing, Digital Room Studios strives to create the most fun and imaginative images goes above and beyond suiting a client's basic needs. We collaborate with our clients to provide a product that will melt their faces with awesomeness.
And as for the photo?
I love zombies, what can I say? I did this in all of 45 minutes. The lighting setup was one Speedotron head with 7inch reflector and grid on it to light Brad in the chair. Another head was placed with a reflector firing away from Brad to bounce off the wall and ceiling and create a very low ambient feeling. This one was powered much lower than the first. The third light was outside behind my friend Joey to add a backlighting for the zombie look.
I took a photo of the guys with the lights and then did a second shot (the camera was on a tripod) to expose the TV properly and so that I could catch a decent scene of Zombieland.
This is my photo for the week one assignment. Bringing imagination to life and melting faces.
