OSU Photojournalism: September 2012

Assignment Four

This is 18 year old Jordan on a smoke break.

Jordan works at a tattoo shop, where he draws out the designs for clients.

This is Rob.

Rob is an art Major. I found taking photos of smoke to be fun. As you can tell both of my participants smoke.

Taking some practice shots on my friend before I do someone else.

This guy was skateboarding near the Bartlett and looked like and interesting guy. The logo on his board means "Stillwater Skate Park Association." He's in charge of it and is trying to promote it so they can install some better equipment.

This was a nice old man who was taking a break from his job at Res Life. His friends teased that everyone would think he was smoking a cigarette rather than eating a sucker, but he didn't care. I'm happy with this portrait- except for the background. I wish I'd of picked something a little less distracting, because his face kind of gets lost in the pattern.

This kid was sitting on a bench talking to a girl when I pulled him aside. His expression is priceless- however I'm not too fond of the giant line running through his face. It wasn't quite as apparent on the camera.. but then again I should have known better.

Assignment #4

Assignment 4

This is a friend of one of my roommates. I wanted to capture his personality which seems laid back and comedic.

This is an art student. I wanted to show her in her environment. She has her drawing book in front of her but it's not distracting..

Assignment 4

Can't remember his name or company but he was looking to hire students into a mid-level investment firm to manage retirement funds for people. He was standing all alone at his table and was kinda bored. He was happy to have someone to talk to. He went very in depth about regulation and what goes into mid-level investing but it was way over my head.

This girl's name is Amber. She was looking for a job in a marketing firm but couldn't really get into talk to anyone. She was standing alone in the stair way. When I starting talking to her she looked like she was about to cry.

So I told some dumb jokes to try to cheer her up. (Not for turn in, I need to get a reflective surface. I tried bracketing around it but I couldn't get lighting on her face that didn't blow everything else out with harsh light on her face making her all "squinty")
