Commercial Portraits

I took these photos on senior skip day (see I wasn't just slacking off). These photos didn't turn out exactly the way I wanted them to. My friends were nervous about being judged for fake modeling...so their facial expressions and poses aren't as natural and happy as I wanted them to be. I have been waiting for a day since so that I could either take them or my boyfriend back to redo them. Alas, it hasn't been sunny on a good day for any of us and a trip to Sauvies is a lot harder than I thought it would be.

Project 8 Fine Arts

Fine Arts portraits.

For the Fine Arts section of the portraits, I wanted to focus on the face and facial expression. I have been taking interest in gender identity lately, because I want to be able to further understand trans people. I don't quite understand the meaning behind my pictures, it's suppose to be confusing, and I hope others can find their own meaning. Also, shoutout to my boyfriend for being so flexible and putting himself in a vulnerable place. It's hard for men to wear feminine things or act feminine, so he felt pretty uncomfortable. He refuses displays of affection while he's dressed up, for the fear of me falling for girls instead of men. (An inside look beyond the photo). On a side note, he looks better in makeup than I do.
