I heart faces

So a little while ago I found the website I heart faces. It's a website that gives photographers challenges every week. Ahh... I've been talking with Steve lately about where I need to go with my photography now. I feel like I have an ok handle on technique in camera... I need lots more practice with off camera lighting, and I need to pay more attention to the composition of the photo. So I loved this website for the challenge of giving a theme, and trying to creatively interpret it and create a photo. I've decided to take this opportunity to work on composition and lighting. I am lucky enough to have quite a few models at my disposal. I have some awesome dancers that have agreed to help me out, and I have my baby and husband as well... hopefully I can get some self-portraits in there too....

Anyway, one of the rules of photo submissions into this website is that it has to include a human face in the photo. I don't necessarily love this rule, so I probably won't follow it every week, but I'm ok with that... I'm using this as an exercise in creativity and execution... not to win, so with this weeks challenge as hearts, I got 2 dancers, and created a heart. I loved several other shots than the one I submitted due to the fact that you couldn't really see faces... so here are the "rejects" that I LOVE from this last weeks shoot. Thanks to Satomi and Jake for being awesome models!
