Evaluation (self reflection in blog with examples from shoot)

For this shoot I tried to model after Sam Hessamian. In his photoshoots he gets different angles of the models faces which I tried to mimic. In the first photo I did more of a straight on angle but showing more of one side of her face. In the second photo I got down lower to get a different angle. In it I included her legs and more of her upper body. And in the last photo I did a straight down angle of her face. This angle also showed some of her legs and upper body. I like how by just changing the angle it changes the intensity of the photo. In the second photo, my model looks happy and just enjoying the day. But when I change the angle to the third photo it makes her look angry and focused. I also really liked how in the first photo the wind made her hair fly up a little and add some dynamic to the photo.

Black and White Photography

                       Sam Hessamian
I choose this artist because I enjoy his style of black and white. It is classic with a touch of grunge. Each picture seems to have an interesting story behind it and draws the attention and curiosity of the viewer. I also really enjoy how in each photo the models makeup is very heavy and dark. It draws attention to it and brings out the whites in their eyes. Each photo is intense and interesting. These are some of the reasons on why I have choose this photographer to try and imitate for my black and white photoshoot.
