#5: Portrait Challenges Final (Sydney Nguyen)

Portrait Challenges FinalThis challenge was really hard since I was only able to access wifi, and therefore download photos and edit them, for about 30 minutes. But I had fun trying to improve on my draft in this weird environment and situation.

Person without a person there:

1. This one is supposed to capture me via the empty space where I would normally be laying

2. This one depicts a child (or the lack thereof) sliding down the playground pole

Portraits of Justin

1. He's barely there! But this is Justin after a long day on the court (staged :/ )

2. Justin against the window, unfortunately could not reshoot this and give him a more dynamic positioning because we left the hotel and don't have curtains now

Self Portraits

1. This is the one where I got snuck up on and instinctively snapped the pic

2. This is a cool shadow I caught of myself in the evening. I like how the sparse blinds cast shadows against the wall! When I initially edited it, I made the highlights a cooler blueish tone but I realized I liked how the warmth really reflected the bright orange sunset so I ended up going in that direction

3. An extra image that I was able to get quickly before the wifi cut out:

Some of my art, as well as some of the art prints I've been given, that Justin brought to the new apartment. I normally enjoy doing art but have not been making much lately so I think this captures some of my more recent creations and the colors/concepts that appeal to me
