Writing with Light

Rineke Dijkstra

Rineke Dijkstra is famous for her rather awkward portraits ranging from nursing mothers to extreme close ups. For this purpose, I was looking specifically at her beach portraits. Her goal is to "coax out the emotional subtleties and raw energy that are special to children, adolescents and young adults, with grave, revelatory and sometimes ecstatic results," (nytimes.com). I also, personally, gain a very renaissance feel from these pictures.

Second Chances Vol. 2

Ok if this an option, i would love to work more on 35 mm! Also this image is from last year but it's the only analog i have on my flash drive currently. But i always feel as if i could improve upon this, and it's just a lot of fun. Also, i want to learn a lot of new techniques in the darkroom such as dodging and burning and toning.

Second Chances

For my "second chances" i want to work on the abstract expressionism photography more because this was something i really enjoyed and would like to work more on. I do quite like the pictures i took already for this, i would just like to work further on them and do more.
