I shot Diane, with no inspiration other than the props I found in the classroom. I liked this project because I didn't feel constrained to a specific subject or trying to work the shots toward a specific goal. I felt more free to take a wide variety of shots and simply go with the flow. I also enjoyed using Photoshop, since I have gotten much better at it over the course of the year. This shot had a lot of photoshopping, since I was trying achieve a certain lighting effect. I still am not sure about the final effect on Diane's face, but overall I am happy with the darker mood of the photo. It isn't perfectly in focus, but that's what I had to work with. I brought out the red of the chair and the contrast in the hat, to highlight those objects a little more. I felt using the hat prop made the picture more intriguing because it implied some deeper plot behind the photo.
