Interviewing Karmen

For the Lighting Final Project, I chose my sister to be my model. At first she said that she did not want to be my model because she did not want me to dress her up or something like that. I told her that she only had to be herself and I just wanted to capture her personality. I told her that this project had to be about the most important person in my life. She started giggling when I told her that. I asked her what she thought about the project and she said that she thought it was impressive that I knew all of these things about the camera. She also said it was really fun because it was another thing we got to do together. She said she had a lot of fun doing the photos because she could be silly and it was cool having her big sister use her for the project. Now Karmen wants me to take more pictures of her and even her friends. This project was really interesting because Karmen is not someone who likes to get her picture taken or be at the center of attention. Although, she said that she was okay with being a little silly with this project because the pictures had a meaning to them. I was really impressed with her answers because I think she understood that these pictures are really special. I could have picked anyone and I picked her. She said she was really happy that I picked her because she thought I would have picked one of my friends. I responded and I told her that she is my number one friend so there was no question about who I was going to pick.
