For my studio portraits, I took pictures of Aubrey Giasson. I mostly took the pictures straight on, though for a 7th picture, I took a profile shot and for the 8th, I was on top of a chair aiming down. I didn't really tell her to make any poses, I took most of the pictures by surprise. I would tell a joke or something and wait for her to smile or crack up laughing. As a result, the pictures are more chaotic and less professional looking than usual boring ordinary studio portraits. For the most part, I used harsh lighting coming from below and to the left, making the pictures high contrast. In the last one though, the light was from above. For the most part, I took landscape style straight ahead shots, with no regard for the edges of the blue paper. My pictures communicate some manic craziness that studio portraits usually lack.
