Portraits

I've never enjoyed taking pictures of people, but this photoshoot was a lot of fun. It was a good excuse to take pictures of people who don't necessarily like having their pictures taken. This is a picture of my beautiful mom on Mother's Day. I disobeyed a lot of the rules for this photoshoot. Instead, I centered my focus point to make sure it was the focus. For my subject matter, I chose people who are closest to me. This includes my boyfriend, grandparents, parents, and my dogs of course! My voice was put into this photoshoot by having the majority of the images taken in and around trees, flowers, and just nature in general. This assignment helped me view my world differently by making me notice all of the little creases and wrinkles that are on people's faces that make them beautiful and unique. My weakness was the concept of the photoshoot. Like recently stated, I am not a big fan of photographing people. On the other hand, I think a few of my images turned out really great. If I could change this assignment, I would make it stretch over a longer period of time. This is one of those shoots that can be weather dependent, of even just straight time consuming. Lastly, thank you mom for coming to watch me play soccer on Mother's Day! I love you!
