Topic One My first portrait subject is Jonathan Ropp he is an LBCC student who is considering going into criminal justice. The best environment to shoot Ropp would be in the learning center because that is where you will always find him studying. Props that could work are student books or a binder on a table next to or in front of him. Either by email or in the learning center. My next portrait subject is Mirkayla Hedlund she is also a student her claim to fame is not knowing where she wants to go with her life but she enjoys going to school. The best environment to shoot ms. Hedlund would be in the cafe where she is found either eating and studying or the learning center where she is found getting tutored and studying some more. Some props that would work for this shoot would be any school supplies like books, binders, or pencils/pens. I plan on contacting her by either email or text. Topic Two The best photo I have taken in this class so far would be any of the photos f

Photographer of the week: Name: Cindy Sherman Cindy Sherman is best known for her conceptual portraits, she is also a film director where she made multiple films. She has also been awarded with 4 different awards the Guggenheim Fellowship for Creative Arts, MacArthur Fellowship, Hasselblad Award, and the Glamour Award for The Superstar.

Every one has a life of its own, a story it tells that is different than the last. Cindy recreates and creates women throughout time. Topic Two:  So far I find the book very intriguing the way she is able to put us in her shoes like we are actually there gives me shivers. I don't think I could handle what she does with the blood and death, I couldn't watch that. I couldn't just take photos I would want to help but then I would be too scared too.

Three ideas that I have for the shoot are the lake for the overall, my portrait will be of an employee at Sugar Vibes who happens to be a student at LBCC, and my activity shot will be of the theater at night with a line and the neon lights on. 3. The biggest challenge I will have with these photos is the night one at the theater because I struggle taking darker photos. Topic Two:  1.
