Despite my expression in most of these photographs, I tend to be exceptionally happy (most of the time), I just don't look like it. In this project I wanted to go against the boring "trying to look happy" portrait, since most parents obsess over having their children look happy in photos. The photo should capture the emotions being felt at that moment, and having to wait around until for someone to set up a photo perfectly tends to put me in a worse mood. I simply wanted to think of how a photo would be set up, but not waste too much time on it. Many of the resulting photos make me look like a teen who is trying to express how "sad" they are to their friends on Facebook, but that doesn't really lower the quality in my eyes, if anything I just feel like I am playing a character. Along with that, I actually decided to play a character, as I realized I had a fedora, and my sister had recently attained a pink wig, and I had a semi-nice dress-ey shirt. This fit the ensemble of one of my characters. [Might add drawing later if I somehow remember to, which is doubtful]
