Sorry for the lateness and confusion, but here are some examples of my past work. For the most part I like to stick to film as opposed to digital; it's more hands-on and personal to me. I try to convey that in my work by bringing in a lot of emotion and contrast. These are some photos I took while I was in Mexico recently, I used a Pentax ME 35mm.

Here are examples of my photos i have taken over past couple years

 

First two were in vcu studio.  Third picture was in a stairwell of coloseium lofts. Last two photos i did creating my own poor man stuido in my apartment and house using house lamps and sheets.

I like making very personal images, photos that put you right up in some place like you're actually there. I also have a thing for desaturation in portraits, and playing with peoples' skin tones. Additionally, I love haggard stuff, like abandoned buildings and sometimes that grittiness is transposed in my portraits as well.

Kathleen Jones

These were all done in darkroom last year. I was experimenting with self-portraits for the first three. I am overall interested in tableux to an extent and creating a dream-like experience.

Erin Sonoda

taken last year. two different mamiya's cause one of them broke last semseter! I like creating scenes to create photographs. I have pretty poor craftsmanship so the photographs help create the illusion.

I like to experiment with subject matter that works well in a series. I often shoot people/objects/environments that I feel closest to and take a documentary approach to my shooting. I prefer to work digitally, but also enjoy experimenting with film (medium format, holga and diana cameras and polaroids.)

My work tend to be very different depending on what medium I am using. When using Film I love high contrast and doing exposures in darkly lit situations. Here is an example of some of my darkroom work.

When it comes to my digital work on the other hand, I tend to like bold colors and bright images. My photography tends to become much more commercial and fashion like.

My first really strong interest in photography was in photographing skateboarding. I still really love shooting skateboarding as well as other extreme sports but have not really found much room to explore that avenue in my classes here at VCU.


Of all the type of work that I have done for the past few years while at VCU I have been most interested in creating and staging things to photograph rather than shooting things that other people might find. I also like to manipulate my subjects so they are at least unique or hard to identify.I also have been interested in environmental portraits.


Last but not least, I am way more drawn to the outdoors than anything interior.

These are all from darkroom last year taken with my medium format camera.

I shoot using all different mediums, but I prefer working with film and traditional black and white printing.

David Thompson

I enjoy shooting scenes that I control or add subjects to on location. I am interested in the emotional affect on viewers from imagery.
