I ended up turning these images of my friend Abby for my representational portrait assignment due in class last week. I'm not quite sure they fit the bill, but I liked the images well enough, and I wanted to turn in something very unique and really try to push myself with the assignment.
I decided to go to Glouster yesterday with the intention of making some weird portraits. I shot some Ektachrome on a 645, so hopefully those will turn out cool. For now, I here are a few digital.
I keep playing with portraits like these. I feel like I'm getting somewhere, but I also think I need to be more deliberate about such things. Matt Eich and I spoke the other day and we decided upon a new challenge- take every photo we see. Driving around and walking around, I probably see 15+ things a day that would make an interesting photograph. There's always the excuses--"Well, the light's not nice, I don't have the right lens, and I don't want to bother them."
Hopefully I'll be posting more, too.
I guess these stem off of that, and how I constantly observe the things and people that surround me in search of the one that makes it click.
