Getting creative
November 19, 2008 in Art, Media & Design, Photography · No comments
I love taking pictures of people. It’s a conclusion that I’ve come to time after time, as well as the fact that I would love the opportunity to take more pictures of more people. It’s why I’ve just registered elysekufeldtphotography.com, so I can centralize my efforts and have a website I can point people toward who are even remotely interested.

On Saturday I took my friend Natalie out to Gasworks Park in Seattle for a little photo shoot. We had to spend a little bit of time getting her to loosen up in front of the camera, but once we did, she had a lot of fun and offered up a lot of great opportunities for shots. With her hair, her clothes and her general disposition, she had already lent a wonderful vintage feel to the photographs which I enhanced with a little bit of processing.

For a while in high school, I was smitten by landscape and nature, and while I still try to take pictures of that, I feel there is so much more to capture and so much more challenge in portraiture photography. You have to try to catch the best and most interesting moments that show a relationship, you have to get close, but not so close that they clam up and it’s just another smiling face. There’s emotion. There’s a story. There’s all the complexity of the human tapestry that you are challenged to capture in an instant.

I mentioned pictures of Randy’s nephew Caleb were coming. And here they are! Down from 355 to 12. Not bad, I say! And I’m quite fond of them to boot! I still have to go through birthday pictures, but I’ll do that at a later time.
