HEADSHOTS! ~from Christian
Portraiture, it's what I've been up to lately. In one of the classes that Alicia taught she told us about jobs and finding jobs doing portraiture, it's funny because in the beginning I was laughing at her I thought to myself, "There's no way it's something people really want or need." But by the end of the night I was convinced and so I started to talk to some people and I got a photo job at a daycare, I was amazed and I felt this insane amount of hope, I'd been looking for a retail job for around a year, but here I had this opportunity to make some money, it was great. I still haven't found a retail job and honestly I've given up on it, Alicia and the family at SALT have convinced me that I can do portraiture also they have lent me some lighting which is great! Portraiture, it's something I don't like very much, my favorite type of photography is architectural photography, but the truth is that I can't take photos of buildings and get paid as easily as a headshot. I like still objects, taking photos of a human is much harder buildings are easier, but when you take a photo of a building it doesn't smile or give you a thank you, photographing a person is much more gratifying. I hope to transcend in portraiture photography and develop an immense amount of love for it and enjoyment.
Another awesome photo from Danny
My inspiration for this photo actually came from a conversation about xray glasses at my brothers house, it didn't hit me right away but my brother has a good amount of canvas all around his apartment with drawings he did, so i thought to myself, wouldn't it be cool to like see threw a canvas and what ever's behind it comes out as a drawing. At first i just took a test shot see if the idea looked cool at all. Once i did, i showed my brother and he thought the idea was great so i set up a black backdrop with a little light and got to work=], i was pleased with the final result, the D.M on the top right was the cherry on top lol. I CALL THIS ONE PICASSO ..Mainly because it incorporates a photo (PIC) with art, and a very famous artist was named Pablo Picasso.
