/Black Portraits/

In this project we did something very similar to my other project “Portraits with an Infinite background”. Except we used a black background; believe it or not this changed everything about our photos. We still used light on our faces and realized later on that light could be both good and bad; because if we did not use light our faces would not be seen. Light also created shadows and beams of light on our black background something we don’t want. We then tried a method of pointing the light away from the model, this created enough light to be seen in the photo but not enough for the light to reach our background. I enjoyed being able to explore the dark side of portraits; I enjoyed it more than the white backgrounds. Click here to see all my other photos!
