An Experiment


Like every other week I have to take numerous amounts of pictures for my Photo Workshop class. A few weeks ago a friend named Tyler Morgan asked if I wanted to accompany her to battery park to try and take pictures. I was having the worst case of photo block, and I just couldnt get inspired. Later that week I was in my History of Photography class and we started talking about a method of printing called "Double Exposure",which is exposing two negatives to a peice of development paper in the darkroom to make the final print. So I took this idea and applied it to my own negatives. I decided to layer a shot of some flowers with a picture of a highschool sophmore i got at the park earlier that week...and this was my result. I do like it if i may so so myself. :)
P.s. Check out Tyler's Blog, its pretty sweet!!

  3. Shirts with Crazy Designs
  4. Psychedelic Lounge pants...For when your hanging with friends drinking "hot cocoa"


The Family


Over my ThanksGiving break I got to go back to Connecticut to spend time with the family. Although my mom wasnt there, shes in Florida, it was still nice to be back to see everyone. The assignment for my Photo Workshop class was to take pictures of my family, and these are a couple of them. In the top picture thats my cousin Amanda. She was so much fun to shoot. This girl can make me laugh so hard and i love that about her. The bottom picture is of my cousin Nick. We ventured outside of the suburban development to get these shots. It was actually pretty cool. We discoverd this vast feild and these huge hills. We claimed it with a stick so its Pretty much ours now.

Are you a baby?


Sadie!! Just one more week mom.Tell the baby :)

Designer





Theres nothing more I love then wacthing Joanna make new pieces of clothing or other accesories, especially if they are for me lol. The bottom picture is of me holding a bag joanna made me as a Christmas Present, that Bag was incredible and its last me awhile. The middle picture is of joanna modeling a dress she made as part of her Parson's Challenge. The top picture is a little photogrpahy by Joanna of her "china men" pin cushion.

The Girl Next Door

This Photo is actually fairly old. I took it while doing one of my first photo shoots here in NYC. It was just intended to be a quick end shot to finish the roll of film but I really liked how it came out. The model's name is Seung, shes was pretty amazing throughout the entire shoot. She helped me out so much that day.. so "thanks again Seung!!"

Little Beetle


This Photo was taken for an assignment Iwas given for my Photo Workshop class. The teacher wanted us to work in the studio so we could get used to using lighting, backdrops and what not. Although I have done it a few times already it was a good excuse to get me back into the studio to do what I love best.The model's name is Samantha and she was great, she knew how to take directions and was very graceful in the shoot. I think this was an overall success.

M.Avila: Not much to say about this video. My assignment was to make a self potrait, so I chose to make a video of my life here in nyc.

Jealous


M.Avila: If only we were this fashionable when we were young! For real, who are your parents!? Where are you both getting these clothes from? Charles Guislain and Tavi Williams def have a new take on fashion and we cant wait to see what they will have in store for us in the future. I mean cmon, its always been my dream to dress like a bird.

A Class Assignment

M.Avila: A photo I took of Joanna for an assignment I had for my friday's Photo Workshop class.The plastic gems I glued to her neck and face left a red mark that stayed there throughout the week. So thank God I got some good pics because I dont think ill get that opportunity ever again.This photo is a great example of what I want our blog to be about: Fashion and Photography
