Expressive Light Reflection
Pick your favorite image from the series and write a reflection on your technical process.
My favorite image is of Mitchell, my subject, wearing a "crown" of flowers as well as a "scarf". The light was directed from his left, and used no reflector or umbrella. This created a lot of light on one side of his face, while the other had very little light. The flowers had many variations in color, creating a wide color scheme and a lot of contrast. My position was directly in front of the studio, and Mitchell had a slight turn of his head, which further blocked light from hitting the other side of his face. This photo fits the theme of my magazine, Contrast, in both the color scheme and the photo itself. Mitchell is usually a bold and brash kind of person, so he was very humbled by the pretty flowers all over him. Though it was funny to everyone else, Mitchell shows embarrassment through his facial expressions. The flowers contrast his personality, causing a clash of two different worlds. It has a wide range of values and creates a lot of contrast throughout the piece.
