...it was my job to shoot twenty of the most promising high schoolers in fauquier county this weekend (fourteen were done backtobacktoback on saturday)...to keep myself sane, i shot my own set of portraits...looks like martin parr and christopher morris had a baby on a green backdrop, right...i think these tell more about the kids than a large grin...and they're funny in a way...my landlady didn't seem to think so, i'm pretty sure she only laughed, because i prefaced showing them to her with extreme excitement...here is what we'll actually be running in the paper:
...and so on...i have to say, my series was more of a challenge than the 'real' portraits, because i only allowed myself one shot for each kid while they held up their card instead of shooting until i got something, anything for the paper...oh, i love their handwriting, oh the details...i was thinking about handing these into the editor with a straight face and seeing how long he gave me to clean out my desk...
