Smile

For this project we had to take pictures of 15 people, with one photo of them smiling and one without smiling. The most difficult part of this project was to ask people if I could take pictures of them. This was hard for me because I felt very uncomfortable. The changes I see between the 2 photos are that the people look much more happy in the smiling picture. It is like they have a different personality. Bias can affect my job as a photographer because if I walk passed someone not smiling or looking very serious, I wouldn’t ask them if I could take a picture of them. I would ask my clients to talk about their day and what they like to do. This is a chance to take a fair photo because people don’t always have to smile in all photos. You can see my photos here.
