Portfolio handed in – nothing to do but wait

Today was the deadline to hand in our final assignment - our portfolio - at the Western Academy of Photography.  I handed mine in two days ago, and now I'm waiting for my final mark.  On June 17th I will graduate from the Professional Photography program.

After everything we have been taught, I decided to do my portfolio on one of the few genres we didn't really touch; food photography.  I contacted restaurants around town (and even one in Chemainus), a few of which were willing to let me in to shoot.  Still, a number of shots were done at home, with the aid of my wife, who was more than willing to do some styling and holding a reflector here and there.

I've decided not to post my portfolio here until after graduation, but there is nothing against posting some outtakes.  Overall, I think these outtakes were good enough to be in the portfolio, but for one reason or another, they just didn't fit.
