For my portrait of a person I knew right away that I wanted to use my roommate. My goal in this project was to be make an artistic portrait of an artistic person. Andrea is my roommate and many of her hobbies fit together like clockwork.
After asking her if she would be my portrait, I started making notes on things about her. I posed the question, "What is the gift of her story?". I thought about what I wanted to convey about her personality, and what things in her life would convey that the best. She is a beautiful person inside and out. She is humble, artistic, spiritual, and introverted. These are the things I wanted to convey in the portrait. That is why I used shots of her drawing, reading the Bible, and reelecting. These things really convey the person she truly is without saying anything. I took notes on these things and made a shot list and we went from there.
When it came to music I went straight to piano music because she has played piano in the past and piano music is played at church a lot. In God is where she finds peace and also in her drawing and reflecting. Piano music was most fitting.
I enjoyed planning this piece and so did Andrea. She gave me input about ideas of things to feature. Because Andrea is such a beautiful person and loves bright colors, I chose the Sony HDV because it picks up the most vibrant, beautiful colors.
