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...







Portraits are 2nd in my list of favorite types of photos. So let's take a critique on yours. For my portraits I tend to want my subjects to be unaware of the camera or at least appear this way. Your photos are, as I believe, are posed, which is just fine. Your use of light through the window on the girl's face I think is a nice touch, however, I think your last portrait is a bit out of place from your other two.
ReplyDeleteOverall I enjoyed looking at your sequence!
I love the portrait of the girl in these photos, something about the colors and the way she is looking down in the first photo feels so quaint and innocent. I even like that the purses in the background match the colors of her clothes. All of the colors tie together and its really nice to look at.
