Someone needs to make a movie about this guy.

The one part of your night that you can count on being pure.

Experimental Photography

For a photography assignment, we had to take photos of pills for a pharmaceutical company. The brief was wide open, so I decided that it would be fun to play with color and movement. Quite a few of these look like impressionist paintings...
I hope you're not disappointed when you find out they're laxatives.

Miami New Times Article...

I'm officially Miami's creepy woman photographer...awesome.
"The most important thing she has learned so far? That her love affair
with the city and its many, many men grows stronger each day"

Why I Chose Miami Ad School

Mary Beth Koeth - Why I Went to Miami Ad School from Miami Ad School on Vimeo.

This is a lil' embarrassing for me to watch, but from a video editing perspective, it's lovely.

Thanks to Ralph, for all the time and hard work that you put into everything you do. You're an amazing teacher.

Miller Genuine Draft Assignment

Miller Genuine Draft slash Miami Ad School Strip Club: The one part of your night that you can count on being pure.

This is a campaign in the works...
Our other ideas involve, a vegas limo shot, bar scene, frat party complete with midgets, a goat, trannies, etc. Pretty much your typical guys night out.

Photography Competition

School is out for the quarter (hoorah!), the beach is filled with oiled and unsteady spring breakers, and i've been busy battling it out with two Germans (Anne & John John), a Spanish girl (Laeticia), and a Californian (Sean) in a photography competition.

EF, a company that offers educational programs and language training to students around the globe, is hosting a photo competition for the Ad School students. For round one, we had to submit ten photos that depict the city that you live in. The winners from that round were flown into Miami to shoot the city, school, and students out here. Heavy shooting schedules and (awesome) dinners have been taking place all week. The winner will be announced at brunch on Saturday and then jets off to LA and Hawaii to shoot their schools out there...did I forget to mention the $3000 scholarship?!

Pretty much the dream job I've always wanted...to travel, take lovely photos, and meet interesting people along the way. Wish me luck!

Liquor Ads

I apologize for being MIA this past week. It’s always a lil’ traumatic when your computer dies the weekend before finals. The good news is, I’m alive…and thanks to David, Mr. Apple Store Genius, my baby has been revived for the time being.

For photography class, we had to shoot a liquor ad. Here’s what I came up with...

My Very First Photo Shoot...

...with a model and a makeup artist!
For one of my classes, I had to shoot an album cover (story).
Thanks to Jessica and Roselaine for making it happen! You girls are awesome.

Jin Soo Rocks

Meet Jin Soo. He's a design student from Korea.
I just love his look...so I dragged him into the studio to take his picture.
Seriously, how cool is he?!

Our Amateur Doritos Commercial

Aside from the choice of female casting, I think it came out pretty well...if I do say so myself.
