Photography Meets Design

As a student of of photography, studying the science of drawing images with light and the science behind it, I have extensive experience in photo editing  and design. My ultimate passion for design began at one of my first jobs in communications for a resort hotel in Las Vegas, and I had the opportunity to work with Adobe software for the firts time 9 years ago. The best part of it then,  I was getting paid to learn-usaully it's the other way around lol.

Below I just want to show the world the break down of a recent design with my original photography. By-the-way I used Photoshop on my iPad for the design.

Enjoy!

RI STATE OF MIND-BY OLIVER KENT PHOTO

While practicing my portrait/mugshot settings on the Cannon Powershot Pro 1 camera,

I try not to use the flash on the camera and utilize the natural lighting indoors.

The 4th unsupported dome structure in the world! The beloved Rhode Island State House. Nothing special other than the sun shining directly on State House, hence the natural yellow tin on the building. I think they architects intended it to be that way.

The initial concept was inspired  by invisioning the album cover of the Hip Hop debut of Nas-Illmatic. I wanted to express an iconic landmark and some how sculpt my face with a tie-in concept--RI State Of Mind.

With the iPad 2 I purchased the Photoshop app which enables me to edit, layer, and design on the iPad. This iPad version of Photoshop was built specifically for the graphic designer on the go, therefore it's not the full desktop version.

Super Bowl Party-Boston

Last weekend had to be the most humiliating Super I've ever seen of my time! The New England Patriots would have at least scored more points in the second half-just saying.

While the shock and amazement of the priceless Seahawks defense "L.O.B" (Legion Of Boom) took apart the helpless Broncos, the photos below captured the Super Bowl viewers at home in a small private theatre in Boston with pure entertainment.

Art & Culture In Las Vegas

Before I officially left Las Vegas and moved back to the tundra of New England, I snapped a few photos of some Las Vegas local art in the Art Distrisct of Downtown. I was quiete surprised that I found a series of legalized graffiti in the area.

Take a look.

Kodak Moments

Last year November (2013), I took a trip to Gilroy, CA and Monterey. In the series of shots below, I started at a farm market in Gilroy with my Kodak prosumer camera, which i was surprised on the quality. In Monterey I visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium and took amazing shots of the marine life-forms.
