Portraits
Lighting:
I changed the photo to black and white but I originally had the lighting coming from the right of Evan creating the his right our left side of his face to be black
Position of Model:
Evan was sitting down but I focused primarily on his face, and he wasn’t looking directly at the camera more slightly off to the side
Position of the camera/composition:
I took my photo eye level with Evan and vertically
Impact/expression:
The photo for me leaves a sad and serious impression due to the lighting and Evans kind of down and about lack of emotion expression
Compare and contrast:
The other photo I chose was the one of Robby looking up in full color these both are complete opposites for me the photo of Robby gives off a humorous and happy feeling unlike the one of Evan also the lighting I shot for Robby was different the lights were more in front of him producing a showdown behind him
