These photographs were part of a project to take candids and portraits. From this project, I learned how to properly edit photos in Adobe Photoshop for journalism use, and how to take photographs of others in both an environment that I set up and an environment that was set up by someone else. I also learned how to take photographs without a lighting studio set up.
