I love the lighting and detail in this one but I wish I had of included more of the circular window, there wasn't much room behind me! The colours look delicate and I think the pose is pretty.
Recently I have been trying out various camera angles for a different perspective. I stood right over her and compressed her whole figure in to the frame as she looked up at me. I really like this one.


This is one of my favourite portraits.. I like to use surrounding materials/objects to create interest in the shot. I asked my model Bekah to rest her head on her hand to frame her face. I've started applying bold colours, though make-up, hair and accessories to produce a stronger looking image. I have used Photoshop to tidy up any blemishes on her face and enhanced the colours slightly.

I wanted to have a go at a lighting technique called 'Edge' lighting, where the face is split into two halves. I wanted to create a sinister looking portrait. I used a wet glass pane to try and disguise him and when I took the photograph, I looked down as he stared up into the lens. I do like this image but I think more water on the glass would give off a stronger and much more sinister look. I will post another improved version very soon.
