Week Something [HAHA] - Portrait of an Asian Guy

This week, I learned how to shoot against a white seamless! A church friend, Hamilton, was kind enough to volunteer as my subject for the assignment.



 

  

 


P.s. I'm really short. All these were taken with me standing on a wooden box.

Week 5... or 4... or 6...? : Athens.

I drove an hour and a half to Athens (no, not GREECE - Georgia) to shoot a friend from high school and his roommate for my class. Learned a few important lessons:

1. Wear comfortable shoes when you'll be doing a shoot outdoors [or anywhere].
2. Allow yourself enough time when the sun is your only form of light. [The sun fell below the trees WAY faster than I had expected it to, so I had to make do with just a few photos.]
3. It's fun to shoot images you don't think will work; sometimes those images are the best of the shoot!

...That being said, here are my photos for the backlit/stranger assignment and the bouncing light assignment.


This is Kyle, Tad's roommate. I didn't know him before this day. He has a funny laugh.



 





  
This is Tad. He wore a fun hat.
