Look at her smile. That is the reason i smile. She is the reason i am who i am. She is my mother. My caretaker. She has given me everything she possibly can and i don't thank her enough. This is Cheri Linn Bruckner. The most kind and beautiful woman i've ever known. She is one of the most important people in my life and she always will be. She has raised me into the woman i am today. I knew when i decided to make her my model for this project, all of her pictures would be of her smiling because i love her smile and it always make me happy. I chose to have all these pictures rather closer to her face so you can really see her features and maybe even realize why i am so in love with her smile. Most of her outfits are in businessy type outfits because she spends a lot of time at work. All of them except the last one. The last one really shows her playful side. Cheri loves games and is ALWAYS making jokes. She's also always laughing. So i really tried to capture that she is a truly happy person. This unit really helped me with this project because i really got a lot of good pictures of my mom. I also have a different prospective on taking photography. i learned that different lights have different moods and feelings that can really effect a picture and its message.
Looking at your photos of your mom I can tell that she is a happy person. Also her mom looks like a very understanding person and everyone would get along with her. The visual cues that brought me to this conclusion that your mom is a happy person is the way the light is shone upon her making her look bright and how she is smiling in the photos. Overall Sydney you did a wonderful job in capturing your model and you have a good understanding of the light unit. One thing you would like to try is using different locations to challenge yourself in how you are going to take the shot of your model.
ReplyDeleteI feel you have successfully captured my playful side because that is how I feel when we are together. I am generally a lighthearted person. I think that is reflected in all the photos.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite photo is the "Existing Light" photo. I like the photo's artistic value. The use of black and white, the profile and the shadows really give it a dramatic look.
