Assignment #7 Diptychs

I had a lot of ideas for this project and they didn't quite turn out how I wanted them to but I actually really liked this idea.  It kind of describes BYU in an abstract way. This is the classified board in the basement of the Wilk and specifically it's the housing board. It is pretty much filled with "I am getting married and need to sell my contract".... I just find it interesting about the kind of culture we live in here at BYU.

Assignment #6 B&W Potraits

This is Megan and she was a little girl I met after watching my husband play soccer. She is very much a diva and was fun to talk to. 

This is my younger sister Aimee who is super shy and struggles with being the center of attention and so I wanted to get her smiling cause that's how I see her but with her head down as how she portrays herself to the rest of the world.

This is my sister who absolutely hates her picture taken and is a photographer herself and so has about 3 pictures of herself. She wanted to have her camera in the picture but I didn't want that.

This is Greg. He is my brother-in-law and one of the coolest people I know and has the coolest job ever!

This is my grandma and she is the most amazing woman I have ever had the experience of knowing. She has lost and gained so much in this life and has endured some of the hardest things with a smile on her face.

Assignment #5 Color Portraits

This is my best friend.

This is me being a total nerd surrounded by books...which I most definitely am not and do not like. Books give me anxiety. At least when it comes to science and math.

This project was actually kind of hard for me at least when it came to taking my own picture. I have no problem taking portraits of people I know or don't know because I feel very comfortable behind the camera. I think I do a pretty good job of making others feel comfortable when in front of the camera but when it's me I have a really hard time! I struggled for a long time deciding on what I even wanted to do let alone when I actually had to do it!
