Couples Shoot

I chose to shoot my mother and my youngest brother.  They have a bit of a crazy relationship, They're both pretty energetic and crazy.. which comes across in the photos.

Film "Mentors"

I think it's a little hard to tell whats going on in this photo but I liked the concept of it. It could have been a good shot but it turned out a little dark. I liked how the willow tree looked with a swing set infront of it and grass in the foreground leading up to it. This was basically a test photo and my mentor didn't really influence anything about it.

This photo was taken around sunset time. There was some cool looking shadows that the trees created so I thought it would make a nice picture. I think my mentor influenced this photo because of the shadows, in a few of his series he had photos of the grand canyons with the huge shadows casted by them, I thought it looked interesting and it's a little different.

This photo is probably my favourite out of the series of photos because of how clear it turned out. My mentor influenced this photo because he liked to get close and take pictures with something in the foreground, so I got down into the grass and took the picure with the fields and grass in the foreground and trees and sky in the background.  

With this photo I would have liked it to turn out a little more clear because I wanted to show the detail on the old barn. A big asset to my mentors photos was that he liked color and detail, since I dont have color I figured some good detail would be nice. Even though its typically not a landscape photo I wanted to shoot something that would show some great detail.

My mentor didn't take many photos of animals since he does more landscaping photography but when he does he caputers them in their natural habitat just doing what they do. (I tried to capture my horses grazing in the flield but when they see me they come running) Origionally I didn't like how the fence is in the picture, but I like how unplanned the photo looks, the horses are just doing what they do everyday.

3. What is one tip you will use and why?
One tip I will use is number seven, to be prepared. I would use this because i think its best to be prepared for a photoshoot and knowing what to look for and what to expect. If you aren't ready and just hopeing to get lucky with shooting the perfect photo chances are you won't have a successful shoot.
4. What is one tip you dont agree with and why?
One til I diagree with is number 12 "marvellous mono" it just doesnt make a lot of sence and it doesnt seem that important to me. If I were doing a shoot i wouldnt really be thinking about high contrast monochrome.
