During Thanksgiving break, I decided to photograph my dad for my next Inside Out Project submission. This time, I wanted to have more personality in the image, and make the image funny and/or interesting. That's why I photographed my dad- he's a big goofball, and both fun and difficult to photograph. There were many fun photos I considered using, but I ended up choosing the one that would be both subtle and engaging...
Just kidding. I actually chose this one.
While I felt like the lighting was a little flat and boring, I also think that it allowed the viewer to focus more on what he was communicating with his face. This isn't the ultimate finished project or anything, but you get the idea (I hope?)
After doing this project, I decided that I want to move beyond simple mug shots like the ones I did for this project. I want to do weird cropping and weird storytelling- something beyond the simple portrait.
When I went on the website to try and upload this new image, I couldn't find the option, so I'm not so sure that I'll be able to participate a second time. I'll try and find another way to do it, and I hope everybody else has been participating too!
