photography essay: Preston Rolls
This six weeks I felt personally inspired by Preston Rolls. He’s a locally based photographer in Austin,Tx. And is a personal friend of mine. I admire his raw talent and natural business skills, he’s persistent and always delivers more than what the customer asked for. He’s punctual and very professional when it comes to every aspect of his business process, this includes making a name for himself via social media outlets, booking shoots, having a standard rate for his photos, the actual shoot, editing the day of, and delivering of the photos within 1-2 days. Preston is very efficient in his entire work and his passion for photography is seen through his work.

Eerie- Through your use of a downward angle paired with the model looking down, you achieved a feeling of unknown sorrow giving an eerie impression.

Ghoulish-The close up of her eye definitely added much drama to the shot but I think it would be improved if the eye was in focus rather then the side of her face.
Ominous-The natural pattern of the bush ends with the subtle introduction of the skeleton which plays off the subtleness found in ominous situations.

Mysterious-The subject matter was weird compared to usual wind chimes which made them mysterious.
Undead-The movement of the blood in different directions gave the blood animated characteristics.
