Strangers No Danger

The following photos were taken for an assignment and all of the subjects are strangers to me. These three final people were extremely receptive to having photos taken of them even though I had two denials as well during the process.

Taken on Monday, 2/4/2020. This is Angelica and when she heard that I was taking photos she immediately asked if she could be in one of them and made the process very easy

Taken on Tuesday, 2/5/2020. This is Tim. When I approached Tim and asked him if I could take a picture he was very friendly and said of course as he said "I'll stand in the position that I do every day"

Taken on Tuesday, 2/5/2020. This is Fred. After presenting him with the question he immediately flashed a big smile and was very willing to participate. Most definitely made up for the two denials I got earlier

The Person in a Portrait

For our 3rd project in Art 229, we were tasked to take a collection of portraits of a person we know in a way that ties together. The goal is to present an accurate image of who the person is and how they approach life. The following photos were taken of my suite mate, one of the funniest, hard-working, and friendly guys I know.
