Portrait

The purpose of this assignment was to shoot a portrait using natural window or door light. My model, JP, was just outside the door so I could have the sun shining on his face. Surprisingly the background turned out darker than I expected and I must say I quite like it that way. By having the background darker, JP's face turned out brighter and it catches more attention that way. JP's clothes helped with the eye catching appeal because they are bright and I like the way that his eyes are not visible because it adds to the allure. I took this shot when the sun was very bright making his face brighter. Its almost as if he was photoshopped into the picture because the background is so dark. I think that the lighting played a key part in this shoot because without proper lighting, it would look like a random snapshot and I didn't want it to look that way.
