[full_width][/full_width] [full_width][/full_width] [one_half] For this project I was given a set of guidelines and a team of three classmates to help me create images worthy of going into a magazine or catalog. My art director gave me a product brand, some examples of imagery he liked, and a final number of images to create. My assistant and digital tech then helped me execute the [/one_half] [one_half_last] photos on the day of the shoot. Being given strict guidelines was something I wasn't used to. Despite being apprehensive about the project, I ended up with some of the best images I've ever created. The images are bright, clean, and have a nice pop of color. It has inspired me to take a similar approach to other assignments. [/one_half_last]

[full_width][/full_width] [one_half][/one_half] [one_half_last][/one_half_last] [one_half] I like to incorporate ingredients from products into my images. It adds life and helps tell a story about the product. It can also add color and texture, which adds more visual interest to the image. Colorful products and images are often what inspire me. [/one_half] [one_half_last] I like to pick products that have a special ingredient that's featured in the product's description. If there isn't a specific ingredient I want to include, I'll pick an item that fits the season or setting where the product would be found. [/one_half_last]
