Character

For a long time I have been wanting to do more art photography to stretch my skills and to do something for me. I was inspired to start this project a little over a year ago and today I am releasing the first set of images from my Photo Series "Character".

Each picture represents a character from a book that embodies attributes I believe are worthy of emulation by today's little girls.  Featuring my daughter Elinor and my niece Brenna, each set, costume and prop was carefully selected to evoke the spirit of the character pictured.

I will be releasing a new set of characters each week for the next 5 weeks.  I would love for you to share the pictures but please give me credit, and a link back would be nice.

If you are interested in purchasing a print of your favorite character they are available as 12"x18" prints for $15.  You can also choose 2 for $25 or 3 or more at $10/each.  Please contact me at Shannon@photographybyshannon.com to order.

Katniss Everdeen

Katniss is a survivor. She is fiercely loyal to her family and friends and stands up for the weak. She protects those who cannot protect themselves, and keeps her family alive with her hunting skills. She volunteers for the Hunger Games to save her beloved sister, Prim. When the going gets tough, Katniss rises to the occasion. You can slow her down, but she’ll never stop. She sees things through until the end.

Mary Poppins is practical, intelligent, and brings magic into the life of her charges.  Mary’s no-nonsense attitude takes her far. She has high expectations, which she expects herself and others to live up to.  She knows when it’s time to get to work, and when a little fun will go a long way toward improving the day. The example she sets inspires others around her to also make better choices.
