Week 2 Photo Assignment


I did my paparazzi shoot for week two’s photography assignment at the famous strip, Las Vegas. As I walked around the city’s most popular street, Las Vegas Blvd. also known as “the strip”, I saw many characters and interesting people all walking around this area surrounded by lights, casinos, night clubs, restaurants, and many other things a person can go to to have a most memorable and crazy night. After walking around for a few hours I was ready to leave, and as I was walking towards my destination I found this street musician; a very talented street musician as a matter of fact. As I watched this young man play his violin like an expert, showing his true talent to the world, I decided to take out my camera and take some shots of him and his friend. Most of my life revolves around music, and I have a great passion for music so it felt appropriate for me to be capturing a musician in action, doing what he loves to do and being appreciated for doing it. So while he played, I walked around him taking shots from different angles, some even of the people watching him and their expressions. He truly was a brilliant musician and I feel he deserves all the attention (and money) that he gets in the center of Las Vegas Blvd.
