faces.

[gizmo2071]

I have a college project.
The subject I choose was "faces".
I've tried to take the pictures of different ages/ethnic/background groups in different settings.
So there's a few in the street, couple in standard tungsten lite rooms and a couple with studio lighting.
There's only 9 on there at the moment.
Going to hopefully get a few more tomorrow

I'm not going to post them directly here, but they are all placed within the screen for you to view on this page.
College Project Faces (if it takes you to a 123-reg.co.uk page, sorry. I only just brought the domain name and it's not registered across all the DNS servers, but give it a try again a couple hours later)

I think I've got a nice range within that 9.
Hoping to get a few more characters ona walk around town tomorrow

I know which one evryone will like the best haha

I like the look of the street ones the best. I've found that when doing a series, consistency pays off. I'd personally do all the images like those, rather than having the blank background, or do them all in front of a wall. Take a look at Jazz's portrait series for a really successful project. Everything is the same except the subjects. In most of your street shots, the backgrounds change a little, but they have the same general look to them (except maybe the fountain).

I think it's a good study.
I like #1 for the cleanliness...but I think my fav is #6. The girls dark complexion against the bg is nice.

Thanks guys.
I'm not sure which pic is which Corina haha, I'm not at home and I get a redirected page here...

Thanks for the comments Mark. My original plan was too shoot them all in the street, but with certain situations it was just when I had the oppourtunity to get the photos I had to take them.
So whn people came around the apartment, I'd take photos then.
If I could find people on the street, I'd take their photos then.
Or if I went to visit people, I'd have to get their photos then.

Some of the people I've never met before.
Others are friends and a couple will be family.

I plan on cropping these images right down to just the faces.
So you can't see the background. Like 3rds(eyes, nose, mouth)... I'm not sure.
I'll see what I think once I have enough images for the whole project.

Thanks Woody
She was handing out church leaflets and I had to ask her Mom if I could take her picture.
Her mom wouldn't let me do hers tho

I agree, #6 is my fav too. And the girl deserves some credit for that, because she has the strongest expression IMO.

Thanks pascal. She was a lovely girl aswell. Her mom asked me to email her the photos I took of her. I think they didn't get the idea that it was a simple headshot, but it turned out well and as stated... she had a strong expression which worked well in the picture.
I think they'll be happy with it.

I wish I had this project earlier, so that I could have had more planning time. I only got it end of last week and it's got to be in Monday.
They expect miricales in such short times.
