DMA 204 - Digital Photography - Self Portrait Assignment

This is my submission for the self portrait assignment. It illustrates a big part of my life which is DJ'ing. This was taken at XS nightclub where I was playing a snowboard video premiere.
I like the photo because it shows me having a great time at what I love doing, and I feel very lucky to be able to make a living doing what I love.
I had my friend stand in for me to frame the shot, then had my friend hit the shutter.

DMA101 - Audi R8 Mockup






This is a bit of the process of making my R8 mockup, these pictures illustrate the process.
Here we have the beginning process of adding the photo and getting the mask sorted out.



Adding in some text and one of the versions of the logo. The illustrator .eps file was acquired at Brands of the World.


I then realized I had a photo of the completely wrong car, so, had to switch that out and in doing so created a better mask.






The finished product!

Morlock Assignment - DMA179

The following photos are from the excursion downtown with our group, which was quite large, but that made it all the more fun. Some subway photos are missing due to the fact that I live downtown, and met up with the group when they arrived in the city.
Anyways, it was a great day of photography, waiting, buying calendars in an alleyway, skateboarding, poutine and general awesomeness.

The people in the group excursion were:
Myself (Mike Philp)
Mike Matera
Martin Howitt
Harris Khan
Veronika Pavlenko
Robin McConnell
Colin Trombley
Keertan Dave
Matt Barr
Tess Jacobs
Scott Alguire
Fabio Azevedo
Jordan Racz

Did we come up with a group name?

Hopefully I didn't forget anyone!


Here is my Flickr set of the trip:
