Greek Goddesses

Athena: The greek goddess of wisdom and war. The sword and her stance is to represent the warrior in her. Yet her gentle face shows the wisdom and to not fear her. I like how the red is the main color popping out of the brown.

Amphitrite: The greek goddess queen of the sea. The wife to poseidon. Amphitrite was depicted as a young women, often raising her hand in pinching gesture. This shows her pinching her dress up and delicately brushing the water. Her dress also helps to represent the plants of the sea.

In Studio Fun

LEAH: I really like how her "shy" personality shows in this picture but yet she has a bit of her fun side through her smile. I also like how the light is peaking through by the top of her head.

KIM: I was not too happy with how these pictures turned out. I wish that we had worked with something else instead of the swim cap.

Nature Portrait

This Rachel's nature with her kitty. In her backyard she has the lake and a deck to enjoy. It turned out pretty grainy but overall I really like the scenery.

IB portraits ;)

SYDNEY: I really like how the shadow showed in this picture. I also like the fact that she is leaning forward so she looks very down to earth with her smile.

MEREDITH: I really like how she has movement in this picture so it is not just a basic portrait picture. I just wished I showed more of her personality.

CHELSEA: I am really happy on how this picture turned out. I like the lighting and the hair light behind her. I also like the angle that I took it at.

ELISE: I think that the lighting could have been better in this picture. She didn't get as much hair light as I would have liked. You can kind of see it peeking through by her arm.

portraits FINAL!!!!! mhm

For this portrait I liked how natural it looked. I played around with the color balances to help bring out some colors. I also like all of the textures around her. I think it helps to bring out the photo.

This portrait is one of my favorites because not only did it turn out good but the model is very cooperative. I brought the contrast up and made her eyes pop. I also used a light blur so the background was not as distracting.

PORTRAITS! are fun. sometimes

RACHIE POOH! For this picture I did the split lighting. It is not as effective as I wanted it to be but it turned out to be a good picture.

EMDIZZLE For this picture I did the loop lighting during the golden hour so it gave her some nice lighting and not too harsh.

SASS A FRASS For this picture I also did the split lighting. I wish I had planned out her sweatshirt more because it is a little distracting.

For this picture I wanted to bring out the yellow. I put a layer of pattern to help in framing.

This one I wanted to represent love. Its romantic in a way.

This one shows curves but yet at the same time is dominant in pink.

This is a portrait candid. He was changing the oil in his car :)

For this picture I wanted to bring out the curves in the stream so I messed with the colors and I brought more contrast to the photo.
