Photoshoot!!

I recently had the honor of being photographed by an upcoming Chicago photographer named Dennis. We met through some mutual fans and its been a blast ever since! Every now and then I will be posting some shots from our photo shoots. I really hope you enjoy them. This shoot in particular was done in Chicago near Montrose Harbor. It was extremely cold, but luckily its not noticeable through Dennis' flawless photography. The concept behind the themed scene was nature vs "the girl in a white dress". It represented how much of what surrounded her was a part of her all the time. Hours of editing went into some of his photos. For example, the illusion of me hiding behind the mirror yet you see my reflection as if I am calling onto myself. Depending on how you perceive the picture, will determine your ultimate take on it. Feel free to tell me what you think about it! We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone" -Orson Welles

10/3 Carrie and Song Lyrics

Discussion today was really progressive. I learned key factors and ways on how to write a successful analysis paper. When it comes to writing an analysis paper, it is important to remember to avoid summarizing the piece of writing that you are doing. Another thing I learned and kind of had an idea about was being able to focus on the paper's thesis at hand. It is really easy to get distracted on what it is you are trying to talk about. Breaking up into groups was a great idea and helped me understand steps to take in the development of my themed paper. Furthermore, the analysis of the song "Fancy" by Iggy Azalea and "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke really caught my eye. It never came to my attention as much as it did after actually reading the words instead of paying attention to the musical instruments so much.
