My Series










for this series i tried to follow the work of Mathew Brady. Mathew Brady was a Civil War portrait photographer who took many portraits of famous people. (including Abraham Lincoln!) Just like Brady, i took many portraits of important people around the Drew School community. For my series, i tried to copy the look of his photos by using just B&W. Thank you models!

  3. I think you did a really good job of getting pictures of important people around our school. It reminded me of our Avedon style portraits.

  4. Nice photos Hadley! I particularly like your third photo of Mr.Magee because I think it reveals true character. Your photos are all very interesting and seem to all tell a different story.

  5. I think this series did a great job of capturing famous people around the school, and I definetly don't think I deserve to be in a series with all of these legends. Mr. Mcgee has so much attitude, and you were able to capture every bit of it, as well as everyone else's. Great work.

  6. I really like the variations in lighting and mood in every image. The way you capture different facial expressions helps create different themes and understandings of your model.
