Portrait Series

I chose my own mother to participate in my Portriat Series. I present to you "The Many Faces of Nyya." When taking the pictures I did my best to capture her many emotions in each shot. It might be hard to believe but she experience each emotion presented at least one time every day! The lighting I chose was low key with a simple background. I also chose her to be my model because as you can see she is extremely verstile. She adapted quickly to my photo set, I'm definitely proud of the result.  I enjoyed taking these photos and I hope she did too!

Artistic Inspirations



Nigel Barker
 
I chose Mr. Barker simply because this picture takes my mind behind the gates shown.

 This painting was produced from the Harlem Renaissance Era. This is a vivid depiction of an African American family. I enjoy the realism of this painting.

Tracy M looking down at the camera as I shoot up the wall to get this down low (birds eye view) portrait of her and the wall. You can see a bit of colorful lens flare from some backlighting from the sunlight.

 Graffiti is definitely in its own artistic category. Chris Keeney used the photo method "angling up" very well.  Graffiti is the one of the most direct forms of self expression, I love it to pieces.

  Cityscapes captures the essence of that city in the purest form in my eyes. I believe Rolf Hicker captured evening life at its finest. Also the picture quality is just amazing.

  This photo is so amazing to me. I believe Anne captured infant purity and all his innocence.
