Happy Jillian

Here I am, just chilling on the bedroom floor thinking up my artist statement with my pictures. This is an overall preview for you guys and the actual postings will come later. Who knows, maybe when I put up my website in due time. :)

This was such an overall great experience with my fellow cosplayers. Everyone is these pictures did a magnificent job and deserve even the slightest recognition for their dedicated costumes, all of which were created by the person wearing them. I loved everything about this (except that darn mother nature at times)

Posting will be up later!

Rise as the Morning Star

This was just another little shoot for the talented Uno Jo.

The Purple Monster Lurks

I love my room, and admittedly got bored and decided to do something fun with it. It's definitely not this messy all the time, but during the high stress of the semester, things are forgotten on the floor.

But anyways, I've been watching a youtube channel which focuses around a guy named PewDiePie playing some horror games. For me, it's hilarity at its' finest and I stumbled upon one video which he starts playing a game named Ao Oni.

Kind of inspired me to do said picture. I thought it was a simple but great concept for a horror game. Very intrigued by it. I mean yeah, a purple monster jumping out of nowhere chasing you around the house does kind of sound like a lame horror game, but people like me can only take so much.

The actual picture itself didn't take too long to accomplish. Only 20 minutes in shooting and roughly an hour in editing. I was only stuck on how to make the floor look believably like a hole was smashed. All I used were available lights in my room and a couple of speedlites with purple gels on them to create a more interesting, eerie look. Ahaha thus deemed the purple monster lurks.

And another trip with Aaron Batey

Scouting, scouting, scouting for the day. Grab a coffee, hope for pizza, put on a jacket, drive around different, strange areas, attempt to clean the bird shit off your car and vola! A pretty fun day.
Here is my buddy Aaron and I, searching for somewhat lush gardens to shoot in for my next submission for my portfolio.
Got plenty of protein from the bugs that day. Yep!

50 Delightful Strangers

Since I've been super busy with shooting and editing, I can't upload anything new at the moment. So, instead, I figured I would show you guys one of my favourite projects.

This was such a crazy day for me, since I'm a sort of, a tad bit, maybe shy person at heart, so going up to as many people as I could, asking for their picture taken while wearing silly 3-D Coraline glasses was really a huge task for me. With the results though? So happy how well the whole event turned out. What was the best, was how considerably nice and splendid these people were. One group even went out and sent a message to others to come to the overpass where I was shooting and pose for me. Security eventually came, but after explaining what I was doing, there were no complaints from them, except to take the rest of the shots handheld instead of using the tripod.

It went incredibly well, and because of this, I was so inspired to do the mini series I'm currently exploring with people and light. Still adding more people to that list. :D

Cocktail Shoot

And the sissy drinks are complete!
A fun little shoot, with helpful tips from my friend, Karen Joseph for styling.

Before "Cocktail" Photoshoot

This is just prep work before the actual cocktail shoot in studio.
Geez, this involved many many different props but thankfully found the most suitable ones for the shot.
Staying up stupid late to make sure everything is perfect .... actually makes the next day worth it. The final shot turned out great because of the prep work.
CONSIDER THIS, a turn of events and habits.
