Ingrid tends to capture contrasting emotions in her style of photography.  I felt like this photo really mimicked Ingrid's style of photography because it captures a more natural, candid side of Ingrid and a more serious side of her as well.

 Hadley tends to take a more natural attempt on her photos. I thought that this photo really conveyed the more natural and lighthearted side of Hadley.

 Max's style of photography is one that is more serious and conservative. I thought that this photo really conveyed not only Max's serious side but his more natural side as well. I contrasted the edges of the photo to make it a little more dramatic. Max also tends to use the "rule of thirds" in his photos instead of centering his subjects, so I also incorporated that aspect into his portrait as well.

 Kandyce tends to capture more candid, and natural photos in her photography, often not incorporating eye contact with her models. I thought that this photo really conveyed the more candid, playful side of Kandyce and fit in well with her style of photography.

 Josh's photos are often very dramatic and incorporate both serious and candid styles. His photos are almost never centered as well, and he tends to use the "rule of thirds." In terms of editing, Josh uses very dramatic contrasting colors to be make his photographs more intense. I felt as though this photo mimicked his style because it conveys a candid  and effortless feel. I also did not center the photo and used the rule of thirds. Finally, I edited the photo very dramatically, contrasting the dark and light colors to intensify the feel of the photo.

 In Long Longs style of photography he tends to capture the more natural and effortless side of his subjects. I also noticed he uses dark colors in his photos, and his photos are rarely very bright. I thought that this photo really captured the natural and true side to him. I also darkened the colors of the photo to mimic his style of editing.

I strive to find the unusual and unexpected in my photos. Whether it be in my subjects, my editing, or angle of photography, that is always my main goal . I also really love color and try to incorporate that into as many of my photos as possible. I thought that this photo really represented my style of photography because it provided a twist on your typical portrait and the colors that I chose to edit my photos in were unusual. I just finished up doing my vintage series, so I thought it would be beneficial to incorporate that into this photo. I used a Polaroid effect in my photo to make it look a bit more vintage and alternative.

Best Of

I chose these eight photos as my "Best Of" set because I felt like they really represented and embodied what I wanted to convey through this project. My style of capturing a "vintage like" theme to my photos evolved over the course of my numerous drafts. I felt like by my last few drafts that I uploaded, I had really perfected it and captured what I was looking for. What I like about the photos I chose as my best of, is that they not only represent a "vintage-like" looking photo but they also embody other elements, such as depth, geometric shapes, and are all very diverse.

Best Of Series

In this series I really tried to expand further from my previous series and develop stronger photos through technique and positioning. Instead of shooting from drastic, unusual angles, I shot from a more flat and balanced angle. I also experimented with blurred out and minimal backgrounds to enhance my photos subjects. I expanded further on my "rustic" approach and continued to look for peculiar street objects.
