Portraits

Haven't been active in a while because I have been busy with school but I figured I would upload some photos from my most recent project. Our assignment was to photograph portraits so I decided to use my cousin as my model. The last two photos are from an assignment that we did towards the beginning of the semester for self-portraits. I will upload some more from that shoot soon because I had a lot of fun with that. For my cousin's portraits I decided to keep in very simple and elegant. I threw in the two photos of me to kind of break up that simplicity and show a little more humor.

Lauren Williams. "Sassy"

Lauren Williams. "Sassy with Shadows"

Lauren Williams. "Hard Lighting of a Feline"

My cat lives in my basement because she's afraid of Zoey, so the only time I get to really see her is if I go down stairs. I decided to take her out of her comfort zone and place her in the dining room and do some portraits of her. I'm pretty happy with how some of the results came out. At first it was a little tricky because I couldn't get the right exposure and the images kept coming out blurry and she would move her head. These were my top 3 choices out of all the photos I shot of her, and one of these will also be included in my portfolio and my final project for my digital photography class.

Lauren Williams. "Future"

Lauren Williams. "Timeless"

Lauren Williams. "Like Father Like Son"

Lauren Williams. "TDubbs"

Lauren Williams. "Crossed Eyes"

For this weeks assignment, we were asked to shoot some portraits and these were my best ones. The first photo is of my younger brother, Brandon. The reason it's called "Future" is because he will be joining the navy after he graduates high school and he's still exploring the different fields of law enforcement so I felt that it was an appropriate name. I personally love the photos of my father and myself because it really accentuates our personality and how we're so alike. We have both been through some rough times and it shows how we were able to move on and still keep smiles on our faces.
