Portraits
For this assignment we were required to take photographs of different people in our class. These pictures are different from a regular ID photo because of how I composed them and used different lighting techniques to create more interesting images. While a couple of my pictures were intended to be straight on photos the lighting is different in each of them. My favorite lighting technique to use was where part of the face was highlighted and the other part was shadowed. This is shown especially in my two grey background images. In the photo of Owen, I played with the light so his face would cast a shadow on the other third of the picture. The mood of my pictures are very serious. Each model is looking straight forward or downwards but not smiling and rather making a straight face. Also my pictures are more on the dark side. for the most part (besides the one picture of owen) They are wearing dark and neutral colors. To change this, I could have added more color and contrast to the photos or had the models look at the camera at a different angle.
