Portrait Project


When taking the pictures for this project I found myself very out of place just running up to people trying to take pictures of them. It kinda of made me think more about the article I read about privacy and how maybe it should or shouldnt be given to the indivual when taking pictures. But as I took them I was thinking to myself that I would not care if someone was taking pictures of me, but do they care?

Also another struggle I ran into was with Abigail the girl I took pictures of she didnt seem like she wanted to be there and it also was hard to tell her to stand her or go there for different shots. There is a lot that changes from taking pictures of just objects that have no life and people that acutally have an opinion on what you are doing.

Overal I thought this project was a good one for breaking new boundaries and seeing what is possible when you have fun controll on one side of the project an none on the other.
