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.

 

 

...and one out-take that I LOVED...

Natural Light Class, Piedmont Park Version!

We shot each other for experience with natural light outdoors. Ryan was my model and I was hers. Had a fabulous time! Love this school!

My favorite of my shots today. Beautiful, Ryan!

Candid shot.

She got me! I got her!

But I got the last shot, hehe!
