I've ben thinking about my work and what I want to do for this class, but also what I want to do after graduation, which is to work for magazine companies. I've been thinking about how to combine the two so that I incorporate my ideas about how I want to shoot with the aesthetics of magazine photography to perfect what I can do and push further what I can't while making a body of work that I can have for my portfolio after graduation. i've been looking at Annie Leibovitz's work and also the work Justine Kurland did for New York Fashion Shows.

 This is some of Annie Leibovitz's work.

Justine Kurland's work.

I've also been looking at Sharon Core's work for still lives and studying lighting.

I want to think about lighting with my still lives, but I want to push conceptual still life photography. I still haven't decided whether I'm going to push for portraits or still, but I'm going to do some experimenting with both until I come to some type of conclusion.
