This website is for Scot Breum, a photographer out of missoula.   He focusses mainly on portrait photography.  He is also the one who did my senior pictures, and I partially worked for him.  I really enjoyed my work there.  I got to organized the photos and in most cases go through the photos that were taken and choose the best 12 frames.  I really enjoyed getting photographed by him, he has a great personality.  In looking at his photos I discovered that I not only like his senior pictures, but his wedding photos also. I have been asked to take engagement photos so i was looking at his for some ideas.  I am really interested in portrait photography and since it is one of our topics I figured it would be appropriate to do a blog post on it.

080819_sunset_rainbow1.jpg
by Jeanne Pumphrey

I found this photo on the KATU news website.  The photographer Jeanne Pumphrey was the person who submitted the photo, and labeled it as a " sunset rainbow".  I understand the label that she put on it, because you can see the rainbow in the frame.  The photo was taken in Port Angeles, Washington. ( fun fact...twilight filmed a scene there)  I really love this photo because to the blending of colors.  The way that the pink and the blue counteract each other really makes the picture.  I also like how the trees are in the foreground but very dark.  The rainbow makes the picture seem very mystical and beautiful.  I could stare at this picture for days and not get bored.

I googled cool lightning pictures and found this one.  I enjoy looking at lightning pictures, because they are so rare.  I also really like the orange and red colors that the sunset is producing.  I also like the dark foreground and how it contrasts the colors in the background. This picture just takes my breath away.

2/9 lifestyle

I chose this picture to represent my lifestyle photo, because I really enjoy the little boys in their cowboy hats.  It reminds me of something that I used to encounter in babysitting little boys.  They are always playing and it is really funny when they come in to get  a snack or drink and they just have the biggest grins on their faces from having so much fun! I also really like the look on the little boys face to the right, he looks as if he has to do things just like the bigger boys so he is trying to see what they are doing rather than paying attention to the camera.  Overall this picture just makes me smile, and I feel like it fits into the category of lifestyle, because it is something that is potentially happening in homes across the nation.

My sports photos



These are the photos that I took for my sports shoot.  I had some problems getting the hang of taking photos, but once I did I really enjoyed it.  It was a learning experience, but I hope to get better at it and to continue to get better.  Editing was something that i also had fun with.  It was fun to play with all the different aspects of the photo and to make it the best version that it could be.

I chose this photo, because it fits well with what we are focussing on in class, which is sports photography.  The photo has good definition and is a great action shot.  I like how it is focussed in on Michael, and all the people in the background are blurred, it makes him stand out more.  The lighting is also something that i believe helps the photo, it really highlights his face and muscle tone.  The picture had a good amount of noise i think.  Overall, in my opinion, this photo is an amazing sports photo.
