Holly is passionate about hair and coffee; living as a stylist by day and a barista by night. She is best known for her hair coloring skills, beautifully transforming any head of hair. Anyone can see this talent of hers will take her far in life. She doesn't stop there, working as a barista at a local coffee shop, her love for coffee reflects in the drinks she serves. Her confident and positive attitude makes her easily likable and her down to earth personality makes her relatable. A great place to capture her would be in her salon, possibly in her hair chair, or at the color mixing station. Good props would be a hair color brush and bowl, or sheers. Holly has colored my hair, I have her number, and I'm sure she would be more than happy to.
Heather Diaz MD is a family medicine specialist. Running a clinic, caring for sick patients, healthy patients, pregnant moms, delivering babies, a mom of 3, a wife, and a feminist, this lady is nothing short of a hero. The best environment to get her in would be an exam room or her office. An obviously good prop would be her stethoscope. Having her sitting in front of a piece of medical equipment would work as a great prop as well. Dr. Diaz is my OBGYN and our family care doctor, thankfully I have her personal email, I'm hoping if she isn't too booked I will be able to get some time with her.

Now that I have committed to photojournalism for a few weeks, the best photo I have taken so far, in my opinion, is this photo of Kelly Skaer. It's the best so far, because, the angle was nice, her smile was natural, the lighting was great, somehow not getting a shadow on her face, under her hood.
Photography is fairly new to me, Ive never used a camera other than the one on the back of my iPhone before this class. With that being said, I feel as though my worst photo, unfortunately is, this one of the lovely ladies at the LBCC Earth Month Event. The lighting is not great, I could have tried a few different angles to find the right lighting. I was nervous trying so many angles, running around them, that I would distract them and then they wouldn't be as invested in this conversation.
Confidence, photography basics, and camera knowledge is my weakness. The more photos I take the more comfortable I feel behind the camera, the less awkward I feel asking to take someone's photo. I'm not familiar with how to 'read light', or what the best angles are. My framing skills are an aesthetically pleasing Instagram photo, which tends to be slightly staged more often than not. Because I'm not familiar with camera setting and basic photography knowledge, but I am surfing the internet for information on camera functions and purpose to help. Any improvement with these dilemmas will improve my photography skills.
