Slacking

So I've been slacking on my updates. Life's been crazy and though the shutter's still going off, the lightroom's getting backed up. No longer! There will be more final products soon :)

Portraits

All of these pictures were taken candidly. As Diane Arbus said, "Instead of arranging it, I arrange myself."

This portrait I took from the passenger seat with Steven in the driver's seat zoomed in really close. I didn't crop it, but I frame it crooked. The only other edit I made was to make the background greyscale.

For this portrait I was sitting below Steven and he was standing with the lights behind him. I converted this picture to greyscale and boosted the colors to create a slight tint, then framed it.

This picture was cropped out of a full body image. My intent was to focus on the shadows around the face and poise of the hand. I burned some of the shadows and midtones before framing.
