Portraits












I took these photos of one of my best friends named Evelyn. I photographed her at my house against an empty wall after school on Halloween. I chose to photograph Evelyn because I knew that she would be herself around me when I took photos of her and I really wanted to get photos that we totally random and natural. I had her do whatever she wanted and pretend that I wasn't even there. 

Self Portraits











All of these self portraits show who I really am. Some of the photos are goofy and more laid back, some of them are happy and optimistic, and some of them are worried and sad. These self portraits show the different moods I have and the different sides of who I am on a daily basis.

Macro Photos

The photos that I took came from things I see and do in everyday life. I tried to take photos of things that had a sort of uniqueness to them such as a bent stop sign or a piece of garbage from Starbucks on the track. If I could I would have liked to take photos of animals and insects to get a close up view of what they are really like. I think seeing the beauty and individuality of insects would have been interesting to photograph.
