For the portraiture brief, i decided to take portraits of the members of the crew for a short film i am currently making for another university module. I wanted the Portraits to be natural and in the location we were filming in as i liked the lighting that already existed there.
In terms of my direction, i took inspiration from photographer Rineka Dijkstra’s portraits of children from different cultures on beaches in that i wanted to give the subjects little direction and let them either create their own pose or capture them in their most natural form.
Final Images:
I liked the lighting in this image as the background almost frames the subjects face.
I liked the lighting in this image because its soft, which goes with the expression on Ali’s face and lights up the fur in her hood nicely.
This was one of the images where the subject chose their own pose without my direction. I chose to use this image as i liked the lighting on his face and in the background.
Once again, i liked this image because of the lighting on the subjects face and in the background.
Other images that i took during the shoot:
I did like the idea of having an image of the subject in their natural state who is laughing, however the framing and lighting of this image was off so i chose to use the other image of Ali.
Although i did like the pose that Andy did for this image, i preferred the lighting and framing of the other one.
I thought the lighting in both of these photos was off
