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...
Beautiful pictures of family and time well spent!
ReplyDeleteThese. pictures are beautiful! I feel like the images feel very soft, which ties well with the concept of family. All of these are nice images, and I enjoy the portrait up top with the soft glow, as it frames the girl's face.
ReplyDeleteToni,
ReplyDeleteI really like your portraits. I think my won favorite type of picture to take are in fact portraits. I think it's always enjoyable including our pets too!
But the photo that jumps out at me is your very first one. It's the thumbnail to your post so just by that your post is eye-catching. For me it signifies the beginning of spring and hopefully the end of this quarantine soon. It's hard to see the positives lately and it's pictures like this that gives all of us something to look forward to!
really enjoy these portraits, the soft colors and straight ahead looks into the camera combine to make an interesting photo.
