LL4 – Portrait Basics

From today’s portrait assignment, I favored this one most. The reason I say this is because her mood matches the lighting set up. The lighting was a rembrandt set up and the background was barely lit. the barely lit background emphasizes a lonely, dark, sad mood. To go along with that, her facial expression reads just that. She is facing at a 3/4 view and is looking away from the camera. There is no smile on her face and she just stares out as if she were thinking deeply or grieving in a sense. In all, this photo was very successful both technically and conceptually.
