This was a really fun assignment. I liked being able to go into someone’s environment and take pictures of them. With Paul, I learned so much from all the memorabilia in his office. Every little thing had a story which was super entertaining and overall just fun to know. He is very proud of all of the accomplishments that WWU has and it showed. Working with office lighting wasn’t great, but I feel like I made it work. I also felt like the lighting in Annie’s room was really good. I asked to turn on the lamp and it was night and day. Overall, I feel like I captured them in their element pretty well.
