After many constructive critical remarks from my oldest sister, Miri telling me to become a more diverse photographer rather than just shooting sports I've begun to branch out and am now interested in photographing people/portraits. Luckily for my photography class we were just assigned to photograph people/portraits. So I grabbed the French native speaker, Florian Deredec and my ex-roommate, Nat Clarke and began to do some shooting. At first I had no real idea as to what I was doing or what I was looking for in any of my shots so the majority of the photos came out poorly, but after awhile I semi got the hang of things and got these photos. Just an F.Y.I Nat really isn't a creepy dude and doesn't like to pet skulls I actually made him do it...Feel free to comment on these photos I would really like feedback on them.

Florian wanted to pose like a Hollywood star...this is what we came up with

Don't limit yourself to what you think are the conventions of portraiture, i.e. try to pressure the limits on what it means to call something a portrait. Robert Mapplethorpe's flowers are as potent as any photograph of a person. Stieglitz's photograph of Georgia O'Keeffee's hands, for instance.
