Braid My Hair!

My portraiture assignment was taken at Salon Ivanize, a local hair salon in Detroit, Michigan. This assignment was a little tougher than I expected. When taking the headshot, I had to take a few pictures to try to accomplish my goal for the assignment. In order to get a close to perfect headshot I needed to make sure the background was clear and no distractions. This was sort of hard because of all of the tools and space inside the hair salon. So I decided to take the head shots in front of a plain white wall, drawing attention to only her face and not the background. The environmental portraiture was a little difficult for me because I captured pictures of the stylist doing hair and it was difficult trying to capture the right image with the stylist and client both moving around a lot. But overall this was a great experience for me.
