I just finished my photography class that I took as an elective this fall. I had so much fun in this class and learned a lot about the art of taking portraits. I learned how to help the subject relax so that their 'special sparkle' could be captured on film. I learned how to evaluate the images taken and feel confident in my final selection for the 'best image' from a photo shoot.
Prior to this class, I stuck to black and white shots whenever possible—finding it must easier to express emotion with an image without the distraction of color. But my last image of the class required my use of color. What I found was that I loved the final result. Thus, I plan to experiment more with color in the coming year to see if I can make it work for me.
I want to thank my friends who were great sports in letting me use them for my photo shoot subjects.
