I recently have discovered a new photographer, thanks to some looking around on pinterest in the photography section. I fell in love with all his unique shots, he has this special way of capturing an individuals personality and his photos have a naturalness and ease about them and I think thats what drew me to his style of photography. My favorite shoot of his is the Pencils of Promise, and the other two shoots he did in third world countries. It's amazing how these people have nothing and still are happy, and the kids don't seem to mind and its so beautiful how he captured everyones moods and happiness, but still shows the impoverished side. Check it out:)

Warm & Cool Colors

I struggled a lot with this project and the warm cool color balance,
it didn't help that I didn't use the right still life either. But overall, I
am generally pleased with my project, it definitely could use some help
and used more blue/cooler tones in some parts.
