In this photo above, I had my model look into the light and told her to do whatever she wanted but not to smile. This photo captures emotion and depth. Before I took this photo, it was actually almost the end of class and I hadn't really gotten a good photo that didn't look so posed and fake. I didn't want to get her smiling or fake laughing because I wanted to do something different from my other photos. I particularly like the lighting because there are barely any shadows but it looks like there's shading on the side of her face. My model is placed not directly in the middle, but slightly off to the right side of the photo but still almost in the middle to make her the main focus rather than placing her in the very bottom and questioning why there is so much space around her. I think that the way the back of her head is darker than the front really makes this photograph powerful. It's almost like she's waiting for something to happen and is really interested to what is going to happen.
