So, this past week I did my first photo shoot with someone who I'm not close with. Jin is an acting student at Boise State, and through Craigslist we arranged to do an "art trade": in exchange for me taking and giving her head shots that she could include with her resumes, I could keep the photos (and take additional ones) to be used in my portfolio (both physical and on the internet). Thanks to this experience, I now have a Facebook page dedicated to my photography (APhotography) and I am becoming comfortable photographing people I barely know. I also am now aware I need more pictures of guys to broaden my portfolio. I've noticed that it's very easy for me to photograph women (it's easier to think of poses, know what's flattering, etc).
So, in the up coming months, I plan on photographing some men (other than Shaun) and shooting my first ever wedding (with a second one lined up right after that.
I'm really excited. Things are nicely falling into place for me here, both career wise and education wise.
