window light portrait assignment photos and captions

Just so you know, these aren't the originals: these have been downsized and save as JPEGs. I doubt Blogger would tolerate me uploading a bunch of nine-megabyte RAW files. EEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!

One of the benefits of photographing a teacher is that they'll give you tips on how to make better images. Also: making Peter look scary just doesn't work. Trust me.

Photography Studio head, Peter Gross, directs his photographer, first year Diploma student Annapurna Moffatt, by showing her how gorgeous he looks with reflected golden light shining on him in front of the NBCCD copy stand Wednesday afternoon at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design. "Head of the studio head," said Peter. Annapurna was fulfilling a window light assignment for her History of Photography course: photographing people.

Karen Ruet (NBCCD Gallery coordinator) was also in the classroom at the time (all the while trying to get Annapurna to ignore her--as if!), and she, Peter, and Annapurna were talking when Annapurna took this photo.

When I showed Peter the photos, he likened the last one (my least favourite) to the work of Richard Avedon.
