I found this project a little challenging only because I am shy and can get awkward around other people. I was not sure how to direct my subjects. Depending on the location I found myself in, I sometimes had props to work with and sometimes I did not. When I took pictures of my dad I was in my apartment so I handed him things to pose with and whatnot. He was a good sport and had fun with it. The next night while I was walking down the sidewalk I came across a guy named Jason who was willing to help me in the other part of my project. He was a good sport too even though we did not know each other. This time I did not have many props to work with so I had to mainly rely on his body language alone. It was a little awkward, but worked out nicely I think. It was interesting to have to try and direct my subject instead of chasing it around or working with a stationary subject. I definitely feel I need a lot more practice in this area of photography if I ever wanted to do something like this again in the future.
