Starting off my project of following someone around through there everyday lives, my first subject was my roommate Aaron Scafe. I started off the week following him around campus before he had set up a driving session with a friend so he could learn how to drive for the upcoming summer. It was a very scary and a nice moment as he finally hits the road with the everyday community of drivers, testing his skills, but yet terrifying because hes very new to driving which results in him not being use to turning corners, knowing the speed limit and having some close encounters of side swiping other cars, the moment that really cap it off was the opportunity to hit the free way (which I talked him out of) but either way it was a very good session for him.
Later that week he proceed to go to the field with other friend of his to enjoy the sun, this event involved going to the soccer field, watching the soccer players practice while enjoying a nice smoke and playing his ukulele. It was nice to get outside for a nice shoot of pictures while enjoying the sun, I also learned that it’s better for your subject to face the sun when taking pictures not turned the other way. Later that day he got a dramatic hair cut, which changed his appearance saying”It’s time to get rid of it”. Not really hesitant or thinking about it he just wanted all his hair cut off. I was shocked he just went with instinct instead of thinking over how this hair cut could effect him in the long run.
I ended my session with subject #1 Wednesday Apr 17th and moving on to Subject #2, Brandon Fortner, who I will continuing shooting until next Friday.
