Week Two

For week two I explored the city while shooting a segment on food trucks within the city, that editorial intern Kienna was writing about. It amazed me how much you are respected just by traveling around while being part of a magazine. Our first stop was near Chinatown at a truck called Kickass Cupcakes. It was a fun place that had every kind of cupcake  you could imagine (and many that you wouldn't until seeing them for yourself). I did a lot of close up shots of the different cupcakes (Including the 'Green Monster', Lemon Merangue, Cookie Dough, with a chunk of dough in the center, and many more). I then did some shots of the truck itself. Before leaving, the woman who worked there told us we weren't leaving without first taking a box of 6 home each. Needless to say, my family loved me that night. We then ventured over to the State House where we photographed a BBQ truck. The family has been in business making everything from scratch for the last 30 years.
This was the first real work of mine that was published in the magazine and it was soo much fun to shoot! (Photos to come once I post them).

Later in the week I ventured around with interior designer, Jennifer, to several furniture and home-furnishing stores in the area. I would take one shot of a piece she wanted featured, one of the store itself, followed by one of her 'shopping'. I found this assignment difficult because of some of the pieces she chose to feature as well as working with her for the 'natural' shopping images. The pieces were tricky because it was a lot of tables and chairs, in cluttered shops that were hard to focus on, especially without having a wide-angle lens. Overall, I think I was fairly Successful though.
