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.
