Wivine and her two-year-old son, Junior, have fun while trying to get ready for the photo. not sure if this is ‘the one,’ but if i don’t post it here, no one will ever see it. i also loved the “Cat in the Hat” creation on the wall behind Wivine.
Anne Marie and her two-year-old son, Alexsony, in their living room. The blanket behind their couch seemed like a fairly nice, nondescript backdrop.
referring to the post title: when i first heard about this project, i was thinking it would look best in black and white, with a solid dark backdrop behind the family’s portraits. nice and simple, and let the subjects/people speak for themselves. i also like how b&w seems to encourage people to examine the parts of a photo that matter the most (logically, at least). however, the Hospital was really thinking they wanted color — which would show off nicely the traditional clothing that many of the families will most likely wear. sooooo, here’s my final answer: i think i will just post the photos here in black and white, with the intention of composing that way, while being mindful of the color mostly in my lighting.
wow…i guess i should have just started this part of the post “…dear diary.”
enjoy
