Spyder X2 Elite

$269.99 + tax….  super cheap, so buy two!

I want to understand how this process works!

Both Visual Media and Graphic Design students can benefit from this!!! We have 2 in the cage but both are so outdated and they don’t work anymore. They came OG CD software disk, and the software was discontinued by the distributors.

How it works

Display calibration optimizes your monitor’s color performance and accuracy for your workflow (photography, videography, etc.). This quick and easy process measures, evaluates and corrects your monitor display for an accurate view into your digital world.

Spyder monitor calibrators create an ICC display profile that is used by the video card and color managed software in your computer’s operating system. A calibrated display enables your computer to show a true color representation of your image file within your editing software so you can make accurate editing decision to create the look you want.

Color calibration tool for monitors. Perfect for photo/video/hybrid work/digital design/content creation for novices and pros alike.

“your own thing”

My distinctive approach to photography is a fusion of my artistic flair, personal experiences, and the way I perceive the morden world. .

One key element that sets my vision apart is my keen eye for capturing emotion and storytelling within my photographs. Whether it’s a candid moment or a meticulously composed shot, my work exudes a sense of narrative that draws viewers into the scene. This storytelling aspect is deeply rooted in my unique perspective on life, influenced by my past experiences, relationships, and the diverse tapestry of foods around the world. 

Moreover, my technical skills contribute to the uniqueness of my work. My understanding of light, and composition. This proficiency is a result of my dedicated journey in honing my craft, experimenting with different styles, and pushing the boundaries of traditional photography norms.

As a chef turned photographer, my background brings an unconventional yet enriching dimension to my work. The discipline and precision ingrained in my culinary experiences translate seamlessly into my photographic process. I approach each photoshoot with the same attention to detail and commitment to excellence that characterized my time in the kitchen. This cross-disciplinary influence infuses my photography with a distinct flavor, making my visual storytelling a unique blend of artistry and culinary precision.

In essence, my one-of-a-kind vision in photography is a testament to the amalgamation of my artistic sensibilities, life experiences, and the unconventional path I’ve taken. It’s a celebration of the past year’s growth and a promising preview of the artistic heights I’ll continue to reach.
