Perfect Portrait #3


In this photo above, I had my friend sit down and try to pose for the photo. Like always I tell my models to do anything they want and this is what we tried to do for so long. After endless minutes of trying to capture a perfect photo and after fixing all the settings for every photo I was going to take, I finally captured this one. I knew that this was the one i was going to use but I tried to top this photo but I just couldn't. I got a couple more photos that I really liked as well but none of them really spoke to me like this one. Once i took this photo stared at it for a long time, it gave different feelings and emotions, which is a reason why I really like it. It looks like a normal pose but if you look really closely into her eyes they grab your attention so much. It's almost like she has a scared look in her eyes and you can see so deep into them. Although this photo is black and white it has a wide range of greys, whites and blacks which is pretty cool. I asked a couple of people what they thought about this photo and most of them said that it looks "artsy" and someone said that she looks intimate. I agreed a lot to what the person said about her looking intimate because even though it's a simple photo it looks very emotional. Overall I really enjoy this photo.
