February 11th, 2017: Jessie

A little less than a month after getting my camera I did a photoshoot with my friend Jessie. Truth be told, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. The vast majority of the time was spent walking around the Arizona State University campus and taking random shots, hoping that some would come out good. I actually did end up getting some decent results, much to my surprise. It was exciting, being able to recreate some of the classic portrait shots that I love to look at so much.

During the shoot, I went back and forth between using my 18-55mm kit lens and my 75-300mm kit lens because I wanted to know what the different effects were. I probably had the camera in aperture-priority mode, though I don't entirely remember. Thinking back on this photoshoot, I think the best lesson learned is that the first step to learning photography is to just go out and shoot.
