Hi everyone! My name is Delaney Swain and I'm a 13 year old photographer based in New Jersey. These are 3 of my favorite shots I've taken. It would mean a lot if you could take a look at my website and refer anyone in NJ who you know might need pictures taken. https://dswainphotography.wixsite.com/home Feel free to leave comments or critiques int he comments. Thanks! Pictures of my Best Friends - image 1 - student project I love the leading lines of this picture. With my friend sitting in the middle of the bridge, I feel like you're drawn to her and the expression on her face makes you want to know more about that day.This is from the same shoot as the previous picture, but I really love the raw emotion and joy that this photo captured. Pictures of my Best Friends - image 3 - student project The next few pictures are from a photoshoot I did with my friends for our 8th grade promotion. I think the leading lines on this also lead you straight to the subject.I really like the focus and depth of field in this picture. I think that because the tassel with the year is displayed, it is a timeless picture that you can look at and remember exactly when that picture was taken. Pictures of my Best Friends - image 5 - student project I just really love how this photo turned out. I think it is a picture that could definitely be hung up on a wall.I love the expression of this picture. With my other friends in the back making her laugh, the joy on her face couldn't be missed as she twirled around. The movement and emotion were both captured in this photo. Pictures of my Best Friends - image 7 - student project I think that the environment around her and the look on her face make you want to see what is beyond the green.I think the blue light cast across her face and the absence of a background are extremely enticing.I really love bubbles and think that they just bring an extra layer to a portrait. Pictures of my Best Friends - image 10 - student project I think that black and white really makes this photo stand out in a portfolio.This photo has so many layers with the color change of the fireplace and my friend in front. The glasses match her romper and really add a pop of color to the already good photo. Pictures of my Best Friends - image 12 - student project My other friend was making a silly face, and that's what she was looking at. It's hard to get a genuine smile out of this friend so this was a really special picture.I really love the green and the board that draws the focus to her eyes.My friend didn't know I was taking her picture so you can again see the true emotion and joy on her face. I love this picture. Pictures of my Best Friends - image 15 - student project They say a dog is a man's best friend so here is a great picture I took of my dog. I love that you can see every detail on her face and that you don't know where she's looking.
