Today I wanted to share some of my favorite shots to come out of a digital photography class I'm currently in. Most of this these shots were taken as jpegs and could not be edited later, not my idea, just the constraints of the assignments.
On a street close to my house...
Long exposure of my friend Corban swinging a toy light saber around a forest. Yeah, we're pretty cool.
This isn't my favorite shot ever, and the background needs some work, but it was super fun to take.
Taken in the photo studio of Wallace hall. Half of the lights didn't work...
This is, first off, edited and not a final turn in for the class, but also a photo that makes me really happy. For this particular project we had to go up to strangers and ask them if we could take photos of them. It was kind of awkward. I had a few people tell me no, including one man who demanded that I give him my camera so that he could "take pictures of me and see how I like it." The biggest problem was, however, that most people who said yes would paste on a fake smile and then proceed to stare blankly at the camera until I was done. Fortunately, Andrea (the girl pictured) yielded much better results by spending most of our encounter talking nervously about how stressful her new research job was. Way to be open and interesting, Andrea. I hope you've gotten the hang of that new job!
Thanks for your time and will try to post again soon,
-Joseph
