The purpose of this photo was to capture the fun being had at my birthday. I always take an immense amount of pictures when anything happens to make sure the events are made able to remember. I keep this photo because Josh, the subject, is my best friend and I am reminded to smile every time I see the picture because I remember that I am loved. I chose the photo mostly because Josh is my best friend and this is one of my all time favorite photos of someone I know.
I am the photographer and Josh is my best friend. Once you know the relationship between Josh and I it makes the photo more personal, and gives the smile that Josh has on his face a little more sweetness because he is smiling at his loved one instead of at a camera. You see by the way Josh is the main subject and the reflection of the surrounding friends in the glass that I was interested in only Josh for this photo and he is most obviously happy to be the main subject.
This photo was intended mostly for Facebook and for my personal files. I have a digital as well as a hard copy so I can look at it everyday without getting onto a computer. This photo will be up for as long as it can be up so everyone can see my beautiful best friend. I will most definitely remember this for my life because this was my first birthday in college with my best friends.
The purpose of this photo was in the series of my Senior Photos. I keep it because it was one of the better photos taken of me during the session. I chose it because I figured the easiest way to find a picture of me taken by someone else was to look in my Senior Photos and I love this picture. It was during my senior year and it will always be a reminder to me of the friends I had and the amazing time I had as a Senior and in all of high school.
The photographer’s name is Cade Bradshaw and he was one of my good friends in my Drawing class Senior year and Photo class Junior and Senior year. I was out of cash and he offered to take my photos for cheap and however I wanted them. Knowing that a friend took this picture makes the look on my face less rude and more sarcastic and almost funny. If someone I didn’t know took this picture it would take the fun out of the photo shoot and give this picture an aura of boredom and staged emotion. The fact that a friend is the photographer gives the photo dimension and life. You can see that Cade was giving me a hard time by the look that I’m giving him. He captured me just as I was shooting him the “I hate you Cade” look.
This photo was intended for my parents and online. My parents wanted something they would be able to keep forever, basically, and Cade wanted something he could put online for portfolios and interviews. I will definitely remember this picture for the day and the years it represents.
I do not know this person nor why or where but the photo is by Chriz S. Wolf. It seems to me that the photographer is the subject’s friend and is capturing a moment maybe of vacation or maybe of just hanging out for either his personal collection or online. In the thought that the two are friends, it gives it a comforting feel to the photo rather than thinking that the photo was taken by a hired photographer which takes away the comfortability and gives it a staged and stiff sort of feeling. This photo was on Tumblr, so I’m guessing the photo was intended for the online viewing aspect and a personal file.
