Quaker Factoroy Shoots

-
So far, I have also been included in two shoots with women's international fashion brand Quaker Factory. Quaker Factory sells women's clothes through their own website as well as QVC and other vendors. Working with this brand in particular is great experience for me as I aspire to be a fashion photographer. Learning more and more about different lighting techniques, and learning to work with other artist to complete the look you and your client are going for was great for me to learn within these types of shoots. The work hours for these shoots ranged between 10-12 hours. For the shoots, we were taking portraits of models showing off new Quaker Factory material for their online web-store as well as QVC. The usual lighting setup was two lights with large soft-boxes with grids attached on both sides of the seamless on about a 45 degree angle hitting the seamless, and a B1 with a large umbrella in front of the seamless. Sometimes a white card is used as well to soften the light. In the workspace you have so much going on from models getting make up done, models shooting on set, assistants sorting photographs into folders. It's kinda hard to get bored in studio. Both shoots have consisted of getting to the studio around 9 AM for setup and shoot time starts around 10 AM.

Slam Magazine Cover Shoot

I was able to learn more about strobes and working with big name clients. I even got a SLAM magazine t-shirt!

Week 3 Art Restoration with Kat and Megan

-
Week 3 The UArts alumnus I’m working for is Megan Becker, who pursued the same internship program I’m part of when she was an Illustration student at the university. She has been the one handing me an airbrush and letting me (tentatively) try my hand at stain remediation for water damaged pieces. Megan and I are a good alum-student match because of our shared interest in illustration, and quieter introverted nature. Although Megan’s and my art is very different, we share an understanding for visual meaning and narrative.  The weeks at ART are fairly reliable work-load wise, but on Wednesdays we get to do something a little different. Megan teaches art classes for young students directly after work on Wednesday, so she takes me with her to where her classes are. Of course, I can’t roam around aimlessly while she works, so I take her car to Dunkin Donuts and sit outside, sipping a black coffee and reading The Sandman, volume 5. I enjoy these little quiet moments where I final

Yo!!!!!! My name is Malik Murray, I am a rising junior photography major. I am more than excited to be working under Uarts Alumni Lou Caltabniano and John Pushnick. I started actually a little before the school year ended. So far it has been fun and a great learning experience. I'll be getting into detail on some of the shoots I have worked on so far with the guys in later post but so far I have traveled to NJ, Baltimore, and of course Philly for some really dope stuff. Hope everyone has a great summer and enjoy their time gaining experience in a variety of art forms!!
