Self Portraits

For this assignment, we had to create self portraits based on a random word. The word I happened to get was "sexual". I wasn't sure exactly how I personally wanted to portray the word, so I kinda just played around in front of the camera with some help from a friend who let me borrow a flash. We then started playing around with smoke, and I included one of the smoke pictures as well. 

Portraits

For this assignment, I pretty much just explored Golden Gate Park with my good friend and lovely model, Nic, and took pictures of him while walking around. There are multiple shots, varied from "small" to "extra large". 

They are all very simple but I really like the way that they turned out. 

Childhood Memory

Lucky for me, this assignment was assigned the week before I went home for the weekend. I used my little 3 year old brother as my model, and he was surprisingly good at doing exactly what I asked. The first picture shows the memory of jumping on the trampoline and feeling higher than the world. I always thought I was jumping super high whenever I was on a trampoline, when in reality, it was no more than a couple of feet. 

The second picture portrays the memory of not being able to reach whatever yummy snack was sitting around on the counter in the kitchen. My specific memory is of reaching for the cookie jar in my mom's old house. Unfortunately I didn't have a cookie jar at my dad's so I just grabbed all the junk food out of the cupboards that I could find.
