Last update was supposed to be happy but everyone took it as a bummer,

so let me tell you

my life? Fucking awesome.



I reshaved the side of my head, my poor cowboy baby has to take my crazy ass to the country bars like that LOL



So yeah, EAT THAT WORLD.  I'm kickin' ass and takin' names and doing whatever the hell I please and it's freaking sweet, dude, and about time.

You can call me Brittany.

I am a 23 year old photographer from Omaha, Nebraska. I recently completed my degree in Commercial Photography and work professionally as a newborn photographer - though don't expect to see that work here.

I have a continuing love affair with light. I work in a variety of media ranging from traditional color & b/w darkroom processes, Instant film types, alternative processes, and digital capture.

I am a firm believer in experimentation. I have no qualms about mixing digital and analog technologies to produce new results. I am by no means a purist and follow no rules - except to keep my camera with me and my eyes open.

I love photographic history and constantly search for images to analyze and learn from. I am most inpsired by the surrealists, FSA photographers, and formalists.

My work is personal, right down to the visible finger prints. I make images for me, not my audience, but always welcome feedback.

When I don't have a camera for a face you can find me reading with my cats Smena and Leica, laughing with my fiance Jason, and romping around south Omaha with my beagle, Pilgrim.

considering that you'd know a lot about shadows and lighting, i was wondering if you could tell me if this picture has shading done in the right places. the light is coming from the top right hand corner

I'd say that it isn't terribly off, windows give off very diffused light, so the graduation from the shadow to highlight will be soft, and you it looks ot me like you put the shadows in the right areas as far as under her neckline, cheek bone, eye sockets.

I think the shading on the balls in the necklace looks opposite though, the light coming in the window would be brighter than the light inside the room during daylight, so I would have put the shadows their on the opposite sides.

I think something else that would help is if you had some more contrast, getting a cheap charcoal pencil to practice with in addition to your graphite would help you get a better defined shadow. It would put a bit more dramatic emphasis on it if it had true blacks in their.

I'm glad to see that you are still really trying, this looks a lot better to me than what I saw before :)

You may want to practice your lighting on a more simple subject, like a still life with a simple desk lamp or something aimed on it in the dark. Those sorts of excercises will help train your eyes.

As a photographer it's a little hard to critique because you are drawing what the human eye can see, which is a much wider range of shades than a camera. In photography, the window would either be much brighter than the inside room or much darker on the inside, as cameras don't have such a wide tonal range as the eye, unless of course it has been manipulated highly or very very carefully metered and developed, which is rare unless professional or master student.

I see, thanks for that and sorry for the late reply. please excuse me if i seem a bit distant suddenly, i'm going through a fight with myself at the moment. I'm having a battle to the death between whether it's hormones or a deeper issue ^^;

lol, but we've all been there. i'll try an easier object next time, but i just sort of drew this out of impulse to draw a human.

I'm around now and again. I've been working my ass off for a long time, it was pretty much work sleep work sleep work sleep. Things are finally settling down, even if they are against my will, so here I am :B
