Katie O’Donnell

Below are some recent photographs of my good friend Katie O’Donnell. Katie is a fellow masters student with me at Indiana University and does awesome work. She is interning for the summer at Oracle in the San Francisco Bay Area. Katie just picked up some new glasses so we headed out to a local park and took some photographs. Below are some of my favorites.

Creative Process: We went out into the park around 6:15pm and looked for good light in some shade.

Post Production: Nothing much more than normal portrait stuff.

Same as above, except in color (obviously)

So, I really loved the first photograph (and my 50mm f/1.8 it turns out). So, I’m going to show you it again but in black and white. I think it’s just stunning in both color and black and white. I really can’t decide which is better.

  1. I think the color ones really stand out. The Green of the grass and her eyes, the pink of her glasses and earrings, and the black of her glasses and shirt compliment each other all so well. Usually I would prefer black and white, but in this the colors really look great.

  2. Nice work! And a lovely subject :D. Personally I like the second to last one, in color, at least as much as the first one if not more. Might be interesting to see it in partial color, with a pink pop.
