I saw Carmyn Joy's pictures on facebook and was struck by her style of color. She does weddings also but I focused mainly on her portraits since they are all taken outside really engaging the scenery. I portrait photography is not exactly wildlife but one of the biggest elements in her pictures is the outdoors that she uses as backdrop. It is not even a backdrop really, but an integral part of the photograph as she has the subject interact with it. She uses nature, or rather, farmland, to put her subjects in an almost surreal environment. It is very simplistic and yet striking at the same time. From the coloring and lighting I would guess that many of the editing tricks we learned in class have been used here. How just a few vibrant colors stick out against such bright lighting is done perfectly. Carmyn has started out as an amatuer getting spread by word of mouth but I really think she'll go big with her style of photography.
