These were initally staff pictures for a school paper in college. I was brought in to do headshots of all the members, and these were the headshots that were the best. i feel like it looks like an old page of a yearbook now.. im still tryna figure out what overexposing the picture has done.
initally, chanel was sitting on my lap, hugging me. i took my ug mug out that picture to focus on her smile. i wanted a picture that looked like it was painted at first glance. but this was no photoshop "paint" feature. i oversaturated the picture, made it softer, and decreased the brightness for highlights. check out all the cool lines. i feel this picture cd be blown up and framed...if chanel is that vain. lol jk
circa 2002. i walked up to a new student and asked her if i could take pictures of her. rather bold, i know. and in hindsight, im kinda surprised she was not weirded out by my request. but, she wasn't. i took 50 plus pictures of this beautiful lady. one of the most popular was this one. im not sure who suggested to have the belly button exposed, but i think it was a great addition.
this picture of me of my nephew was done in the bathroom. i was trying to teach him how to take pictures with a slr camera. gotta start them early. in fact, this picture was taken by him. i gave the picture a new border by including the wall in the picture. if only i can get my nephew to behave as well as he takes pictures.
circa 2003. i met a track star and took this picture post-practice. there are two versions of this reworking. i decided to go with this one because this one had emotion to me. its a strong side profile. it's also such an honest picture.
imma sleep on these.
maybe ill do more if i like it next week.
thanks for reading.
