Photoshoot with Berklee :)

This week I had to take portraits for Digital Photography. :) I decided to take them of my best friend, Berklee. The photo shoot was SO much fun! I took a ton of photos and I tried to narrow it down to my top 5 favorites, but I honestly couldn't! So here is what I could narrow it down to:

Photobucket

I think this is one of the best from the photo shoot because Berklee just looks happy. As well, I like how she looks very comfortable.

This is one of the best because it's interesting to look at. The angle makes the light shine on her in a different kind of way and I really like the effect.

Photobucket

I really like this photo because it seems like I just caught her playing around. To me it feels as if she was having tons of fun just climbing around in a tree. :)

Photobucket

This photo is one of the best because she is facing to the side and not looking right at the camera which gives it a cool effect.

Photobucket

First of all, I must say I love this photo. I really like that she looks so comfortable laying there. I also like that only Berklee's eyes and the flower are in color, because it draws your eye into the photo. :)

Photobucket

I think this photo is one of the best because when I took the photo Berklee wasn't paying attention to me at all, so she looks very natural.

This photo is definitely my absolute favorite from the entire photo shoot. I just love it! I love that she is just so happy. I had my friend, Nikki, stand behind me and talk to Berklee, which made her laugh. I love the fact that she isn't looking at the camera and that she is laughing, it really shows how happy she was. Every time I look at this photo it makes me smile. :)

Photobucket

I think this photo is one of the best because it is so simple. I like that Berklee isn't smiling with her teeth, but that she is smiling. I think that it gives it the feeling that she is just happy with sitting there.

Photobucket

This photo is one of the best because Berklee is a shadow. I really like this photo in black and white, because the colors can't lead your eye away from Berklee. I also like that she is leaning against the railing in this. I think that it makes her look very relaxed. :)

Photobucket

I like this photo because of the lighting. I really like that there is plenty of light on the right side of her face, but that because the sun was shining on the left side it gives shadows on the right. :)

Photobucket

This photo is one of the best because it looks very natural. Berklee looks like she is just lounging around on the grass. As well, I like the shadows from the trees on the grass. I think it really adds to the photo.

Taking these portraits of Berklee made me realize that portraits can come in many different ways. Also, I found that most of the photos looked the best one I had Berklee just be herself and I didn't ask her to do anything special. :)

  1. So I basically quite enjoyed these pictures, dahling. Quite muchly. You did a super amazing job! I love the way you used the lighting to your advantage -- the lighting is hard, yes, but not overwhelming to the viewer's eye. I think my two favorites are #5 and #9, because they're just so simple, yet have an elegant beauty to them =) I also love the lines/pattern made by the fence in the 9th one. The lines and lighting really add depth to the photo. Fantastic job!

    And I just have to say that I wish I had her eyelashes. They're so long! LOL!

  3. Drew, I cannot pick a favorite. As I was scrolling through these, each one that popped up I loved. You have really put in a lot of effort here and it has paid off. I love how you switched things up, tried close ups, full body shots, different lighting (that ballet one is amazing), etc etc. Really - Berklee looks FABULOUS and you have amazing talent.
