The Road

The roads we take become a part of us and that is what this series is about. Every road that we have taken in life is part of who we are. Roads show us where we have been and also help us find out where we are going. Roads are an essential part of our day to day lives and because of this they have become a part of us. These roads that we take connect us as human beings to each other. Since I am a senior, next year I will have to discover new roads. I will leave behind the roads that I know, and begin on another new road. The roads that we choose to take predict the outcomes of our choices. Roads take us to new and or familiar places, but no matter what road you choose to take that road become a part of you.

I chose to take photographs of these specific roads because I drive them almost every day. These are the roads to get to my girlfriend's house, and not only have I driven and walked these roads a million times but they have become a part of me. These roads are some of the most important roads because they lead me to something that is very important to me. These roads have become a part of me and I will always remember these roads because they remind me of good times.

Portrait Photographers

Martin Schoeller:
I like the style that martin Schoeller presents in his portraits because he captures the details in each subject's eyes. He stays consistent with capturing the lights in the subject's eyes.

Brian Smith:
Brian Smith creates a very simplistic photograph which is very appealing and formal. I like the style of the black background but being able to have the subject pop out from the background. He puts the focus on the face and sometimes hands.

Brandon Voges:
I like Brandon Voge's style because he makes unique pictures that are very detailed. He makes unique series that are of people hanging upside down or high speed portraits of people shaking their heads. I want to capture his unique style in my portraits.

Annie Leibovitz:
The style of Annie Leibovitz is very appealing to me because in one picture she tells a story. She uses the background and props to tell a story without needing extra photographs.

Richard Avedon:
I like the style of Rachard Avedon because he creates deep blacks and bright whites with his overexposure. His pictures are not only unique with the border but they pop because of the deep contrast.
