    These portraits are really stunning and I admire the fact that you tried something out of your comfort zone. I really enjoy the 5th and 6th portrait and the way you have a circle framing the person, it is visually appealing. I also really enjoy the eighth image, the way she is pushing against the window almost as to signify wanting to escape quarantine. These images are interesting to look at and don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone more often.

    These portraits are great! The first photo it loos like she's licking the flowers. Great thumbnail for your post too! I think it's creative you took to using different filters, such as the telescope portrait. I haven't seen this idea yet from the class. I'm also really enjoying the use of shadows on photos 3 and 4. It's almost like she's projecting her inner-self onto the wall, almost as if her shadow could instantly disconnect from her physical body and float away.

    I love these kp! They are all gorgeous and I love the colors throughout. I also really like the way you incorporated these spaces into the portraits. You always seem to be really conscious of what you decide to include in the frame, and this really shows in this set. I like in #8 how each section of the image becomes less visible behind the glass, and while her hands are the focal point, you can still see just enough of her face at the top.

Final // reflection

    I'm sure everyone is well aware how stressful and anxiety ridden this semester has been. For myself personally, I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I work at a nursing home in town, so when this all broke out I had to evaluate what was more important- exposing myself as a high risk individual, or taking a leave from my job and being broke, jobless, and unable to pay rent. The latter wasn't a viable option. There were so many points in this semester where I wanted to stop and give up, throw away all my classes and just lock myself in my house forever. Especially when my facility finally became exposed to COVID-19. It was hard to cope with all of this, I had only my partner to rely on.      At some point me and my partner started to go for walks to clear our heads. There's something centering about acknowledging the smaller parts of the world around you. As I started to take photos, I was able to zoom in and recognize the smaller worlds that ...

Judah's Final: Mercurial

Mercurial There’s so many different stories to be told when you point the lens of a camera towards another human. The crease of eyebrows, shifting eyes and posture, and tilt of the head tells a long tale, true or not, for photographer and viewer. Transforming people into characters, into icons, is something that always drew me to photography. And in January 2020, I thought I figured out my next brilliant scheme: I made a tinder specifically to find and make photos of these strangers. A constant stream of people, with passing stories, being immortalized to my liking. The semester was looking to be an exciting one. Haha, yeah, fuck covid though.  Obviously we’re here. In quarantine. Alone or with the few roommates, family members, or pets we find ourselves sharing space with. Not exactly ideal for any kind of working, but especially not for the portrait photographer. There’s really only one reliable model you have if you’re alone. And that, unfortu...

My practice drastically changed once going into quarantine. I found it very difficult to have any motivation once being home all the time. This is especially because I was mainly photographing people. I was no longer able to photograph people in the same way, and ended up mainly photographing my brother in different metroparks in the Toledo area. This proved to be a challenge  as I could no longer shoot on film either, and my dslr stopped working a week into quarantine. This led to most of my photos being phone pics. With these limitations I tried to play off of weird projects I already had been doing. My photos for mom series are literal phone pictures I have always taken for my mom of my brother and I doing weird things in parks. This also drew off of my idea to make eye-spy type pictures of my brother and I hiding in the trees. The last of my film photos are also stuck as edited TIFFs. I was unable to download photoshop as my laptop has no storage, and the files were too big for...
