Internship Photographs

These are the images that were taken during my Summer 2012 Internship with photographer Steve Belkowitz.  Some of the photos have already been use for advertising and websites.  Other images are taken by myself from the background of a photo shoot.

These six images are from the website of Coconut Creek Casino.  I worked at the photo shoot and I also edited the photos in Lightroom.

These two images are from Steve Belkowitz's studio.  This was for an advertisement of an event at a Melting Pot.

These two images are of a photo shoot that was for a website of a rock climbing wall company.

These four images are of an AARP photo shoot that I worked at.  The images shows the set up of the lighting equipment and also the computers so the clients can view the images as Steve is taking the photos.

These four images are of a still life tabletop photo shoot that took place in Steve's studio.  

These images shows what it needed to take an advertisement photograph.  It takes a lot of equipment and hard work to run a photography business.  

Final Project

Artist Statement:  This project is about how showing the difference between the top of a staircase to the bottom.  At the top you get to see modern apartment buildings and townhouses that are clean and orderly. Then once you go down the stairs everything is the opposite of what you saw at the top.  At the bottom things are a little messy and dirty.  It is interesting to see what a difference makes just by a staircase.

HDR Images

These are my HDR photos.  The first was taken at Frick Nature Center and the last two are of my bedroom.  I wanted to see the difference in the images from outside to indoors.

Portraits

This is my roommate Erin.  As you can tell she is a huge fan of Philly's sports teams.  And I hope her personality got across in these photos.

Panoramas

Shot these images at night.  Thought it would be interesting to see panoramas taken outside at night.  The one inside the apartment is of course taken during the day.

Abstract

These abstractions are just me messing around with lighting and a self-portrait.  There is a photo from a trip to Phipps Conservatory.

3D Images

Made 3D images out of photos taken at the Strip District in Pittsburgh.

Mid-Term Presentation

The idea for the project is to see the change between the environment from the top of the staircase to the bottom.  Because they are completely different environments.   It is really interesting to see the differences in the environments that a staircase can make.
