Lauren's Week 2 Post

I took a lot of different photos this week. I wasn't thoroughly satisfied with my results and choosing a final photo was kind of frustrating. Two things that I'm having trouble with are:
1) Light - it almost never looks right!
2) Self-consciousness/ shyness over taking photos of other people.
Let me know if you have suggestions.

I did 3 separate shoots of my friend's band, Radio Rebelde. I tried some in b&w.

A young man (black jacket) passes and gives her a look of disgust. They all seem very nervous by the fact that I'm taking photos, and they end up not making a deal.

Aiden and Atticus: I hate the flash, but they look good together. I'll have to try something during the daytime:
