Portraits

 I took this because I thought it captured my father Denis and his personality and emotions. I only used simple black and white filters.

 I shot this of my sister Tara, I was trying to use the tree branches as lines to draw the viewer to Tara. I used a black and white filter, I also used a blue tint on the corners, I felt it cooled the image.

 This is a very close up shot of my cousin Kiki. I used a simple black and white filter and thought it just had a lot of childish energy.

This is of my cousin Rider. I took this while he was looking at christmas trees. Simple black and white filter, also lightened up his face.
