I thought this type of shooting motion was a lot of fun. Writing with light is great way to be personal and creative with your photographs. The only suggestion I have would be, to have more time taking/experimenting with the assignment.

This person is important to me because she is my mom and has been with me since day one. She does what moms do best and then some. With a divorced family situation she is able to put me first with the situation and how it will be beneficial to me, which takes a lot for a person to do. I was able to show her personality by using outside lighting because she loved the outdoors, even having her in the kitchen while wearing an apron because she loves to cook and read cookbooks like crazy. This unit has changed my photography, I used to just take a photo wherever no matter what the lighting situation was. Now I look around and think twice on where I can find the lighting to set the right mood.

• What are your thoughts about this non-traditional way of taking silhouette shots?   

 I enjoyed take the silhouettes this way it was different and like nothing else I did before, it was a very interesting thing to learn.

• Do you enjoy what Photoshop has to offer in terms of layers? 

Yes, I never knew photoshop had so may creative options available.

• What are your thoughts of the outcomes? 

I would want to focus on making sure my shots are in focus before getting into the editing process, so I don't have to go back and take more and be behind. I also would want to do it all again now that I know what I'm doing.
