#8 “My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph.” ~Richard Avedon.
I find this to be true. For me photography is a really interesting way for me to outlet and think about things in a different way. As I learn more about the mechanics behind photography, I am learning more and more about myself and how I approach different subjects. It has tapped interest in me beyond just operating the camera. This has definitely changed since I have started the class...I came into it with the goal of just learning how to use my camera. Now I am more interested in how to convey my true thoughts through pictures. I think these are much different.
As I think more specifically about portraits, I think the situations and interactions you can deliver through a photograph reflect who you really are. It also shows what kind of rapport you can build and how you can capture others in either a natural or a posed state. It is so much more a reflective process than I ever expected.
