Abbi Buckley's Art Blog : Photography Phase

A few weeks ago my art teacher influenced me to take my own photos instead of finding photos online or in a book. I didn't like that idea since I was crappy at takin pictures, until one day my dog Bently (golden retriever) was just sitting outside all peaceful and it had just rained so everything was dark and contrasty. I wanted a perfect image of this and I knew my phone couldn't do the job. So I grabbed my sisters old camera, not the best but I thought I would give it a try.

I was quite satisfied with this picture so I put on some boots and search for more things to snap pictures of.

I was intrigued by how well the pictures were turning out that I wanted to try it out on something else, a model. So I asked Kylie who had been in modeling classes and seemed like she would be easy to work with. So during class we went out into the back of the school (Serena tagged along)

I was totally happy with these photos, I was getting very into my new phase and my determination just started taking off! The next day my friend Jenn and I were going to Thunder Bay and she asked if we could take a few shots down at the Marina, and I thought it was a great idea.

(My favourite one)

Then another friend asked the next day, so we went down the back roads of Dorion.

Then my brother (Fall lake and Dorion Pinnacles)

The best part about this is how happy I have been making people and how happy it's been making me feel. And more people have been askin me to take pictures of them which makes me so thrilled!
