As I enter my final week of photography class and continuing my photos inspired by "Raymond Meeks". I dug into more of his pictures and noticed how diverse he is in the types of photos he takes. I found myself becoming fonder of his work. I took lots of pictures working to emulate his type of photos and found the ones above to be my best. In doing more research on Raymond Meeks I found his biggest reason for putting his photos in form of books is to communicate with other artist. He likes to experiment with his photos, a lot of the photos taken of the woods is taken from his car while moving. However, I find myself mostly drawn to his portraits I admire the way he approaches his portraits. They all seem caught in the moment and sometimes off guard. Some of his pictures will focus on one subject while the others are blurred out. I really like how he takes pictures of flowers they are sharp in some areas and blurred in others. The last three weeks the portraits I took were of people I did not know personally, but I observed their interactions with the people they were with and found the situations to be interesting and I felt compelled to photograph them. I will continue to expand my knowledge and experience so that I will become the best photographer I can be.
