Family/Animals
I selected to photograph various animals and members of my family. I selected my mom, sister, cats, an elephant, a penguin, a flamingo, giraffes and a ram. I captured their age and personality by the activities they were doing. such as cooking, doing homework, sleeping or playing with others. The poses of all of my subjects are different and reveal what they typically do on a daily basis. My sister constantly does homework, my mother cooks and reads often and for the most part, the animals relax and eat. The angles of most of my photographs are pretty much directly straight on, except for the cats because I looked down on them. The setting of the zoo animals are in their natural habitats near their water or the grasslands. My sister and mother are at home as well as the cats on the couch in my sunroom. I believe that the natural sunlight and shade affects the photograph positively because they are much clearer and have a successful contrast.
