Maya Angelou Quote

"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."
-Maya Angelou


I picked this quote because it is so true! When I read this quote I AUTOMATICALLY knew what I wanted to shoot. I decided to shoot her in the street with her hands open like a book and added graphics to replace the words/stories that are being told. One think I wish I did however, was to actually have her holding a book.

Extra Credit (:


So with this shot, I accidently did the previous project wrong and did it this way.. so Ms. Miles said I can use this as extra credit. I feel this background flows with the spring season.

Season's Shot - SPRING


The season that I chose to work with is Spring because I wanted a picture that I can add a lot of flowers and butterflies to. My friend, GABY, loves the color green so she came to the shoot in a green dress which is p e r f e c t for the season. She was an amazing model and she looks amazing too! She was even sick this day and you can't even tell!! The brushes I decided to use were flowers and butterflies because I felt they were the best brushes to symbolize spring. However, I wish that I knew how to make the stems green and change the color of the flowers. To help me choose the color I wanted to use, I used a color pallet. Overall, I feel this picture came out great.
