This is a shot I did for Small Format. The assignment was to approach a stranger, identify ourself as RCC photography students and ask to photograph them. I went out several times specifically to shoot this but just wasn't feeling it. Today while working on an assignment for Digital Imaging I ran into Michael and his boxer, Puddin. After introducing myself and talking for a few minutes Michael agreed to let me photograph him. One down!
This is great man. Even though his eyes are almost closed, there is still a lot of emphasis on the eyes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andy. I was very frustrated with this assignment, mainly because I just hadn't found anyone I really wanted to use. Then this morning while working on John's assignment I saw him sitting over by the covered stage. I don't have the words to explain how I feel about this photo, so I'll borrow a few!
