If I Just Say Hello

This post is about my final four photos that I got from the large format camera. I had a lot of fun with the camera because I could choose where to focus the image and it was a lot of fun to play around with. I also really enjoyed my first attempt at portraiture! I had always been wary of it but it’s actually a lot of fun.

Claudia with her angel wings.

Ilana and her fish. Color was a good option for this picture because without it, the fish would have completely faded from the image.

First sheet of film! I decided I’d try out the camera at first on objects so that I wasn’t overwhelming myself with two new projects at once.

Taylor with her umbrella. What a model!

Some polaroids from last week. I also took film of these pictures, a little modified. As you can tell I was doing portraiture, using props. It was fun to compose an image with a random person and a random object. I was hoping my models would choose their props and body positioning but for the most part I was the one doing this. I don’t mind, it’s fun to compose a shot. However, I really want to get them more involved in the photo. I don’t want to photograph faces, I want to photograph personalities.
