Artist Challenge - Steve McCurry

I had a lot of trouble trying to get the pose right for my Steve McCurry artist challenge picture because I hate looking directly at the camera. Something about being that exposed makes me feel too vulnerable and on top of that my face looks weird full on. It just wasn't "me," which is what he's all about capturing in his subjects. It wasn't until I twisted my body like I was getting ready to walk away and then turned to face the camera that I got a shot I was happy with.

I hope I got something of the expressiveness and color of his shots right.

love it - good choice of scarf colour for your eyes and the wall background

[Janna Dawn Goldrup]

I would be scared of you if I was standing in the camera's spot. ;)

Why are you so serious?
I really like the color, your jacket, the background, and you are so serious that makes a whole mood on the photo, awesome

[Juliette Packham]
