Portrait of a Friend

This is a photo of my friend Nicole. I know that this picture is very saturated, but her pose is quite simple. I wanted a way to bring out her personality, and I found that through the colors in the picture. Nicole's personality is far from simple. She is vibrant and funny, which is shown through the colors. However, she is laid back and has a relaxed attitude which i think is shown in her pose, even the way her hair is laying. Lastly, she is a kind, caring person, and always helps others over herself, and I feel that is seen in her smile.

Portrait of a Stranger

This is Emily, and this photograph was taken in Mellon. I like how she has a slight smile. It adds a sense of mystery to the photo. And she is the only focus in the photo. Being placed against bare walls allows the viewer not to be distracted by other things.

Self-Portrait

This is my self-portrait. There was little editing done, simply just changing a bit of the lighting. I wanted people to see me, simple as that. So, in the photo I am wearing jeans and a hoodie, because that is what you will usually find me wearing. More importantly, I am smiling. I feel like laughing is a big part of who I am because I am doing it constantly. From when we first learned about the project I felt it absolutely necessary to be able to capture that.
