portraits

So I picked up a new lens (24mm )last week and turned my garage into a makeshift studio, with a painters canvas tarp and some spot lights i picked up at Ace Hardware. I took a bunch of photos of my friend kyle since he was the only one who would help me out in spur of the moment. Below are some of the images that turned out pretty cool.  I guess if I can redo this project it would be to steam out the background, but at the same time I feel like it gave some of the photos a more tattered look which is kind of fitting, because i didn't want to make this photoshoot some beauty type work I wanted to see if i can capture the individuals personality and work on connecting to the person in front of the camera though i have background doing photos for work it's not really lets sit down get to know each other type of atmosphere its more like a point and shoot type of gig. So having an opportunity to take photos of an extremely shy individual that does not portray emotions through facial features often made it more interesting.
