It was very interesting to see the work of Gregory Heisler. He is very talented and is able to range his composition from traditional portraits to fun an whimsical. The portraits that really stood out to me were the ones of the miners. Immediately I notice that there is a light that flashes right in front of him because there is barely any shadow. The only shadow visible is on the left-hand side which is probably caused by the tilt of his head. The lighting choices allow you to see the details on the miner’s face which look worn down due to his profession. The subject’s eyes are squinting as if he is looking directly at you expressing his hardships. There is also a light coming from above which is highlighting his hat. I greatly enjoyed looking at Heisler’s work and look forward to following him from here on out.
