Creative Portraits

I created this image during class. Thankfully, we were given an array of props to use. As we know, Bill is quite the model, and the crown just served to complete the photo. This photo also uses lighting really well. The shadows on his face help define it.

In honor of opening day for the MLB season, my mom's friend, Bob, decided to shave his beard. I thought it would be really cool to get a before and after shot. I think his faces capture the moment perfectly. In the first, he looks happy, almost like a santa type figure with his bushy beard. In the second one, though he looks much younger, he almost has an upset look on his face, like he misses the beard, or feels incomplete without it.
