Artist Statement
First, we have my dog, Bailey. He is a character and has been following me everywhere throughout this quarantine. He's very playful and it was hard to get some pictures of him without blurriness from motion. After lots of playing he decided it was nap time which is when I snapped these pictures. For Bailey, I played around with the lighting to make his eyes and the detail of his fur really stand out. I also added some color filters, like black and white, to give the picture some cool, unique looks to it.
Second, we have my mom. She's practically the main reason my sister and I haven't started an all out war in the house. For her hand pictures, I tried to capture her hands doing things that she likes and has done over this quarantine. For example, she was doing a craft in two of them and then was cooking in the other. By the way, she is a fabulous cook and I've been trying to help cook some meals because there's nothing better to do. She also likes photography and has always wanted to do it, so she is very happy to help be a part of my photography experience.
Lastly, we have my little sister Mia. She has a personality like no other. Always has a ton of energy no matter what time in the day, which can be entertaining but yet slightly annoying. We normally get along but we definitely have our moment which is where my mom steps in. Believe me, it was harder to take pictures of Mia then it was for the dog. I took her portrait pictures, in between the T.V. and her, so she would somewhat look at the camera. To add affect, like I did in the other photos, I played around with the brightness especially to make her eyes really pop out.
