On the same day as the Light and Shadow shoot at Teggs Nose, I also asked my friend if she would mind if I practiced taking her portrait to allow myself to get out of my comfort zone by photographing a person, while still photographing someone familiar, which made me more comfortable. The results from this shoot are only small, but I feel this was still an important step to making me more comfortable with the idea of photographing people, as this is something I have never done before. I tried to get the beautiful countryside landscape in the background, while creating a shallow depth of field to ensure the main focus of the image is still on the subject. I think the second picture is more successful because it shows more engagement between the photographer and the subject.
