Studio Lighting Portfolio

This is my studio lighting portfolio. All the images that I turned in are either 8x8 or 8x10 and matted. It was my first time measuring and cutting mats so the whole project really stressed me out, but it's done and turned in. I'll get it back tonight after 7 pm. I really hope I do well because these six pictures are worth 40% of my total grade in this class. AHHH! The "names" under the pictures were the requirements I was given for each image.
