Assignment One: My favorite portraits





These 4 portraits are from an outside portrait session I did with a friend in California this past July. I had a portrait assignment for an introduction to photography course I took, and I asked Helen if I could take her photo. We spent an hour walking around on a hillside near our office in Mountain View, California, and it was a windy day. I like these portraits because they really captured Helen's light spirit, as well as the "shifting directions" in her life at the time. I also liked how the wind became a central element of some of the photos.
