Ideas always welcome (I've got some ideas I want to work with to make this better as well)! :)

Katii Capern - Theme #4 - Cosmos

Hellooo everybody :) So, I am aware of what THE cosmos is, haha, but I decided to take a different interpretation. I went to a lovely little bar with lots of mood & ambience and ordered some cosmopolitans. (In the process of this photoshoot, I discovered that cosmos are delicious.) These are NOT edited a great deal, but I wanted to get the photos up here and hopefully get some thoughts on which picture would be more successful, the redness (very red light in there), etc.! Thanks!

Katii Capern - Theme #3 - High School

Hey all!

Here's one of my high school shots - I had other interpretations of the theme which I shot as well; starting with this one.

It doesn't really have much of a deeper meaning...just me in front of my old high school. I took it because I went back on a Saturday over Reading Week, and it was quite strange...very cold and deserted. I guess I was hoping to create a portrait that showed someone both remembering where they (I) come from, as well as reflecting on how far -- or not so far -- they've come since graduation. It seems to me that after leaving the familiarity of high school, where we were all confused, not much changes to that end. We're still uncertain -- about what we know, where we're going, etc.

So, whether or not that's what you get from this, please give me feedback/reactions/ideas! :)
I know there are some issues with the vertical..what do you guys think?

Thanks!

Katii Capern, Theme #2, Family

Hey everyone!

I took a bunch of different 'family' shots, coming up with them as I went. I had an idea in my head that I couldn't quite articulate, and tried a few different things. Here is one. :) Very little editing so far in the process. (Still working on this shoot!)
Any and all thoughts are welcomed!

Lean on me.

Dora is from Hong Kong, and in this photo she is wearing and leaning against reminders of the distance between her and where she comes from.
We move from all different places when we transition into university, and often, friends really are how we get through.

Katii Capern, Theme #1, Fast Food

Hey guys! So, I wanted to shoot a "McFormal" - getting all dolled up and...going to McDonald's. I've still got things I'd like to work on, but please give me any feedback/ideas! Much appreciated. Also, thoughts on which one to pick?
