Dawoud Bey – Anmol

Dawoud Bey did portrait of high school students in their schools. His characterization in portrait style is framework and hand poses to focus. Every picture of students is eye contact with camara. He used students personal life to portray their personality. act image he is trying to different emotions of students through facial expressions and blurring the background image. He uses soft light on the face to have real environment. There is a lot going on in the background of each image as in student’s lives but to have focus the background is blurred. Th hands of each portrait work perfectly in order achieve the story of the portrait. I do like his work of portrait it’s amazing to tell a story of students.

    Dawoud Bey makes it look easy to walk into a chaotic school environment and create strong photographs of these students. You mention the means he uses: the direct look of the student at the camera, pose, and shallow depth of field to separate the subject from the distracting background.
