Film Portraits

Artist Statement

As our a third film project we had the task of taking portrait photos. Liam and I went around the school, all because the school has great lighting in some places, with that being said we took some photos of each all around the school. This photo I took of liam I took on a manual Canon camera that happened to be Mr.Andreson's, I made sure to have the photo be a selective focus portrait. The way he was looking down really brought out some sort of sadness so during the regular developing process I made sure to over expose to make everything a tiny bit darker to bring out that specific sadness a little more. I really love the way this came out, I just think that in this specific picture it makes it look a lot darker than in person. But in person I think it came out great but I do wish I would've used a contrast filter to bring out the lightness around Liam's head.
