For the first portrait assignment I chose a different picture than what the rest of the class picked as the nicest piece. The one I chose is of my friend Nathaniel sitting in a tree looking off into the distance. I liked this piece because I enjoyed the contrast of the colors with the darker browns and greens around him with his lighter colored clothes and skin complexion. I also liked the mysterious gaze that that he has in the piece. It makes me even wonder whether he is daydreaming or actually looking intently in something off the edge of the photo.
The piece that the class chose as their favorite was of my roommate doing a strange impression of Tonto from the Lone Ranger. They were able to look past the silliness of the piece to see its artistic value. They were intrigued about how he is obviously on a road, but with no idea of what kind. Is it a street in a small town or in a large city. Plus the colors were interesting with the way his clothes were able to match the ground somewhat and still contrast. The one thing that was recommended to change is to possibly move the manhole in the back and to also try taking the photo vertically so that more of the ground in front of him is showing.
