Portrait

The assignment was to take a portrait in natural lighting with a model that was not posing.  This assignment was rather easy for me because taking portraits often require being well-acquainted with the model so that they feel comfortable being photographed without posing.  This was an easy task because I am best friends with my model and have known her for several years now.  I chose the location in front of the front office where the little garden is because I wanted a somewhat neutral yet interesting background.  I feel like the tree behind her achieved this.  Also, it was sort of difficult to find nice looking natural lighting where the sun or the shade wasn't overbearing around campus.  I enjoyed this assignment because it was easygoing, a bonding experience, and the result came out beautifully if I do say so myself.
