bear suit project! part 2!
oh gosh you guys am i stoked on how this is turning out…. my photo final.. bear suit portraits matched up with yet-to-be-taken landscapes of japan.. well the greater tokyo area! yah! and the best part is that i just smacked down the silly epson printer and now im printing gorgeous prints to turn in! so stoked! compare these to part one… i think they are definately a step forward (even though i think the bear suit photo project has ended… its a technical progression).
check this out!
this is totally my favorite one, but it doesn’t really go with the whole semi-uniform approach
well, i think i definately have been progressing as a photographer these last few months… this series certainly isnt perfect, but i think it is closer to what i wanted the first one to be… had i had more control over the room and the lighting (its the painting room, so sometimes there were people painting in there and i couldnt turn out the lights and fiddle like i would have liked to)… and had paid a bit more attention to the placement of the people in the frame, it could have been a bit more together… all in all im stoked, the prints are turning out fabulously… i also had a tripod, which made things pretty much better all around… oh and i learned how to focus my camera.. that helps too.
obviously im not turning all of these in, i think it got a bit better as you go down the page and stuff like that… its at least some amount of progress… im stoked.
as i said on your flickr site…i still like the last one best. and you’re right…these are better than the first series. all are awesome though! the first series was more of the individuals perspective on wearing the bear suit, it seemed. how’s the apartment hunt?

Good stuff! The improvement from part 1 to part 2 is remarkable. In part 2 the composition is simpler (it’s minimal), and you can take that simplicity to very advanced level. A few suggestions: the head room (space above models’ heads) is too much in some shots. But you can play with that, you can base your composition on negative space. Also, you can turn your camera for horizontal composition, playing with negative space on both sides (make them uneven, see golden section rule). Try turning your models sideways
and, please increase the contrast of this page 
(text brightness). Good work!
