This is my first ever photography portrait. The model in the photo is Judy Wagoner, my grandmother. The photograph captures my grandmother's personality a lot, and I like to think she is a very photogenic person. I hope this gives her justice. :) She's such an awesome grandmother.

Ps: The title is a head nod to her being the "queen" of her local Red Hat Society. ;)

Used a Nikon FM 10 - SLR camera - 35mm film

Enjoy~

Grandmothers are awesome and I'm so glad you chose to make her your first portrait! Such a worthy client!

From this she looks like a sweet person, but I think with that smile she's got a bit of spunk. I love her expression. It's almost like that silly 'Draw Me Like One of Your French Girls, Jack' meme.

I like the grey scale picture. It gives it a dash of seriousness to a picture that just could've been any old family picture. The focus is nice, how it's centered on her face and her hands are slightly blurred along with the background. I also like how there's a bit of a texture to the whole image. I don't know if this was meant or not but it looks good.

Overall, keep up the photography! Looks like you just might have the knack for it.

This is a very nice photograph of your grandmother, and this portrait does indeed do her justice. Your grandmother seems like such a lovely woman, she appears to have a great kindness about her eyes.
