Assignment #8 People: Portraits Formal and Candid Emily

Part One

Up Close

This is my new baby cousin Callen. She is only a month old in this picture, and my mom and I were talking to her. She was trying to make faces with us.

 The Setting, Background, Environment, Scene

This is my mom's good friend, Alicia. We were playing Bunco at our friends' Peggy's house. Alicia had a little too much fun and was enlightening us with some stories. 

 Uncommon Perspective

This is Callen again. I spent a lot of my spring break watching her with my mom and taking tons of pictures of her. I can't help it! She is just so cute!

 Dramatic Lighting- Artificial Light

This is my brother and his girlfriend at prom. The theme was, "A Night in Paris." They are going through grand march, and these big lamps are lighting them up.

 Dramatic Lighting- Natural Light

This is my mom. She and my dad took me to see a nice little pond that is near my house in Saint Marie. That day had some beautiful light, until it started raining. 

 Expression is the Subject Here

My mom again. She was getting bored during JV basketball games and decided to make silly faces at me. I decided to take pictures and post them later to embarrass her.

Self Portrait

I got bored on our way to the pond and decided to take a selfie. The lighting was great that day, but I decided to use a filter to try to enhance my face.

 Portrait

My little Callen again. I set her up against her cutest blanket and let her pose. She is so adorable. 

Part Two: My Choice

This is the little pond I went to. People can fish and camp here. I am looking forward to spending some time here in the summer!

After the pond, my mom, dad, and I decided to cruise. I experimented with some photos, and this was one of my favorites, minus the dirty side-mirror.

Ta-da! And Brellan makes Three

I love this picture. It had been a busy hectic day and little B was ready for some mommy & daddy time. The sky was gloomy without much color so used sepia to draw attention to the subjects and away from the lack of color.

Jamaican Sunset Framed by Life Preserver
