I’m shooting my first rap video this weekend with Tufts own CheddaSK. We have been shooting in the Middlesex Fells and Lincoln, Massachusetts so far. Tomorrow is a huge day for shooting though because we are heading to Nahant at sunrise and then to Cape Ann for some cliff jumping… It will be awesome.
Some photos from Emma during the shoot:
This is sort of like being on the front page of the internet.
Music majors are not the only ones at Tufts hitting the good notes. The music culture on campus is rich and often transcends academic backgrounds, says Emma Scudder, A14, who is bringing that music to a wider audience along with her friend Ian MacLellan, A12.
“I spent my first year feeling like there were not many others who shared my musical interests,” says Scudder, an American studies major and folk singer/songwriter in the brother-sister duo The Omaha Folk. “When I really took the time to uncover it, I found that there is actually a huge music scene on campus, and Ian and I wanted to be able to share it.”
And so began the Sunset Sessions, a series of videos showcasing acoustic music by students. MacLellan, a geological sciences major and member of the Institute for Global Leadership’s Exposure program, is the producer.
I had two marketing portrait sessions at the end of last week. It was actually a lot of fun! I’m getting really excited and interested in studio lighting and reflectors and every new portrait experience I have makes me more comfortable and creative working with clients. If anybody in the Boston area needs any promotional photos for anything, let me know and we can plan a shoot.
This first set is a series of promotional photos for the brother of my sister-in-law, Nat Angstrom, who is an actor. He’s going to use the photos for acting headshots and other promotional purposes.
This was another great shoot! Lindsey came to me with an idea for a new banner for her blog and needed a photographer who could make it a reality. I had never done a shoot quite like this, but it went really well. The photos that ended up in the banner aren’t necessarily the best moments, but they are what worked best for a banner. If the height of the banner looks familiar… it’s because I had her hold my MacBook Pro as the stand in.
I made my first stop motion animation. I was crossing my fingers and hoping that it would be a YouTube sensation, but I was wrong! It’s still pretty cute.
