Studio practice part 2

1. Aarron B. is one of the coolest guys I know, he rides bulls and is a ranch hand. And he all makes it look so good.
2. Hes a very serious guy but he can be very funny at times this photo shows his serious side.

1. I like this style of photography when I am taking pictures of people, landscape doesn't make sense.
2. Aarrons serious look inspired me, he looks like a bad man and its really cool.
3. I faced challenges when I said,"So hot Aarron" and he smiled, then he got serious again so it was ok.
4. Aarrons consistent stern look was very good for this project because he gave off the perfect tone for my photographs.
5. I would take more time on the portrait to get it right.

3. I know works outs.
4. I feel his intensity and humbleness through the photo.

My favorite photo was the post-twilight one, the lighting was perfect and shes really cute. My inspiration was to find a perfect lighting at golden hour for most of my portraits. I mostly just focused on my shutter speed to make sure the lighting wasn't off. I faced problems with my exposure to begin with. I had to keep changing my shutter speed to get a preferred light.

I had upgraded the exposure, value, vibrancy, saturation, and increased the shadows
