The portraits

So the portraits went better than I expected. I wanted to really capture each person, and not just take five head and shoulder shots for the sake of it. I didn't manage so well for C, though, there's only one of him that I think is good:


Lukan is a natural poser so he was mostly a willing subject - and quite easy to direct. In this first one, I wanted to show the transition between big kid and small kid. It's not brilliant, but it does capture him right now.


This next one really captures this transition. I think it's the best one of him, even if he is doing something that drives me NUTS.


The teacher liked the next one a lot, but I am less convinced.


This one I really like, though, even if the Lego in front of him is not ideal:


Téo is less of a natural poser, though he was also generally willing. This first one was one of my first. It's OK, but I don't think I did well with using light.


This one is better for using light:

This next one is what Téo does in every supermarket, but the light is crap so the teacher didn't like it.


He did like this one, but I don't like the flat light:


But this one is good - my favourite of him:


The next assignment is landscapes. I'm not hugely inspired, let's see what I manage!
