Portraiture Week - Group Work

This week we're studying portraiture. We started the week with a group exercise/photo hunt, and I learned a lot; I'm a little nervous to be so up-close and personal. Not only that, but I'm worried I'll butcher someone's self image and portray them in a light which is not in the realm of their authentic selves. I much prefer still-life photography, but I think this week will be a good chance for me to grow as an artist and photographer.

This weeks task: understanding color balance and an intro to self portraits!

These were my favorite photos from the shoot:

As always, Jim is a great model to work with! Kallysta was also really willing to jump in and help me experiment.
