Artist Statement
The first two photos are portraits of my best friend, McKenna. I’ve been friends with her since the first grade. We are both only children and are like sisters to each other. She loves to play volleyball and loves her two dogs. I took photos of McKenna outside so there would be plenty of natural lighting. I took them in front of the plain siding of my house so that all of the focus would be on her and not any on the background. One triumph I had was that the siding brought out a lot of color in her face. Another was I made sure to align her face with the rule of thirds so it was balanced. A challenge I faced was that in certain places there was too much light on her face and she couldn’t open her eyes enough for the photo.
