Jessica Sandler took this class last summer and she just wrote to tell me she is still uploading to Fotothing and enjoying working on the projects from Photo 1.... She said I could share this with you...
Hi Jerry! I uploaded a new series of Ryan by the window picture and wanted
to share with you. I think this will become our summer time tradition!
Thank you for the inspiration!
Hope all is well...
Miss photography class!!!
Jessica Sandler
Here is one of her recent pieces....
Notice how she is using light well (remember every assignment is all about how light works) See how light falls across Ryan's face?... As you work on your portrait assignment, take your time, allow the subject to calm down, see light fall on the face, consider a b and w or sepia conversion, simplify your background, and did I say take your time??? :-)
Pets are really much harder to do as they don't follow directions so well... This portrait would be even stronger if Jess waited 1 second more for Ryan's mouth to relax.... Notice that soft indirect window light makes this work so well... direct sun will always blow out the skin tones and make the shadows too dark....
