Hello! So for this assignment, i shot three people. I shot my grandfather, whi has very interesting person, and i will get to more of that in a second. I also shot Alex, who is my go-to model, because she lives near me, and her mother is a photographer so she is very used to getting her picture taken. the third person i shot was...... ME! Except i want tryoing to be me. I was attemting an Actress, who wanted to be a model. It was comical to me, but i think that some of the pictures might be good. I had my Models fill out a questionare, to see if i could capture who they are. I think that helped me, because my grandpa told me that gardining is favorite activity, and his garden is his favorite place. So that is where i took his pictures, and i really think that his pictures turned out well. For Alec, on her questionare, she said her hair was her favorite feature. So i tried to capture her with her hair, trying to play with it, etc. I thought it worked well, thjough not as well as my grandfather and his garden. For myself, i think that they worked out well. I do not pertucularly like them, except i think that it is due to me being in the picture, shown in a light that i do not perticularly enjoy, not because of the images. This assignment i learned that i need to seperate myself even more from my editing and that i need to go one step further in exploiting their inner quailitys. My favorite picture of this bunch it the third one down. I think that the facial expressin is relly who alli is, and that she isn't stiffly posing, but showing her true self to the camera. My least favorite is the one of me, but that is due to reasons that are mentioned above.
