Hello everybody! I’m Ceasar Jones and a good friend of Dylan
Heuer. As mentioned in the earlier post by Heuer, a few friends and I went
sightseeing at the National Mall in DC. Heuer brought his camera so we could
take cool shots of a variety of memorials, sculptures, and etc. On the way back
to the hotel, I had complete control of the camera and decided to try my hand
at both street and abstract photography. After selecting the better photos,
Heuer suggested I play around with the black and white concept for this set,
and so I did. In the process, I learned some Photoshop skills that will help me
a lot when I get my own equipment to play with. Thanks Heuer!
I have to say that I honestly enjoyed capturing humans being
themselves going about their daily routine. It is a completely different
experience from shooting subjects inside a studio because I can ask them to
repeat their pose or expression. In the streets, it’s almost like trying to
capture a rare animal in the jungle with many obstacles in the way and you
might not get another opportunity to capture them after a very small time frame
has passed.
Anyway, enough blabbering from me, here are the photos
below. Enjoy!
