Portraits

Portraits show the true colors of a person. In a picture facial and body language are key. You can tell if a person is really comfotable or not by how they look in a picture. By even adding more people into a picture you can see hoe body language is exchanged between the two or more people in the picture. The photographer must know how they want the portrait to turn out otherwise the person they are photographing will become nervouse. The photogrpaher has to direct the shots they want in order to put the person at ease.

Document Proposal

For my document project, I thought about several ideas but the one I am going to do is photograph the set-up and architecture of the buildings in downtown Chicago.

I find architecture very interesting and want to document it in a big city area. I don't see downtown Milwaukee as having interesting enough architecture compare to downtown Chicago. I also feel I would gain more intense and dramatic photos because the building structures in downtown Chicago are more complex then in downtown Milwaukee. Milwaukee does have some great architectural buildings but I have seen more in Chicago.

I mainly want to show the different structured buildings that are in the Chicago downtown area. I will take photographs of buildings from different angles to show contrast and variation among them.
