Shannon has been one of my best friends for several years. We can always be our complete selves around each other, either serious or goofy. She has let me take pictures of her many times as I become better at photography. She also has always had my back, supported me, and valued me as a person through out the years. We also really love taking pictures together because she likes having them and I enjoy taking them and progressing as a photographer. The background is a lake I frequently visit for pictures and to take walks near. I thought it would be a nice background because there's all kinds of textures like trees, leaves, cattails, and water. Taking one of these portraits on the hill allowed the sun to peak through the trees and light the background of the picture and her face well. I like the contrast her dark hair had against the bright light and blurred leaves. This became more of a challenge when shooting against a darker background. I did enjoy however the texture that came with shooting against trees. Placing her in the middle of the frame also gave a pleasing symmetrical look to the picture.
