Project 9

Fine Art Portraits 

With this edit played with the brightness of the photo and upped the exposure to create a a lighter and softer feel. To further this I brought down the clarity on the background creating a kind of glow. With this picture I really like the simplicity of it, and the focus brought to the model because of this simplicity. I choose the picture itself because I really liked the pose, specifically the hand. 

With this picture I really like because of the shapes that the hair in the background creates. To edit this picture I made it black and white and put a texture over it. The look kind of mimics that of the daguerreotypes we did earlier in the year. I felt that with adding the texture it brought out a different feel to the photo which I liked a lot.  

Commercial Portraits 

Fine Art Portraits

Elena Kalis

With this first photo I really like the contrast of color between the dark background and the lightness of the girls skin. I also like the shape of the photo and the story that is told through the expression. 

Yaroslavna Nozdrina

With this photo I really liked the softness of it and the position of the model. The elongation of the neck makes for a very interesting photograph.

The first magazine cover I choose because I though the set up with the two faces looking like one was very interesting. I also liked the use of dark and light colors along with the pop of red. The second one I liked simply because of how expressive it is. 

Generally speaking fine arts portraits seem to incorporate more aspects then  commercial portraits. Fine art portraits take in to consideration the overall mood of the photo and incorporate the background and the model where as commercial portraits look mainly at the model and how to best showcase them. This creates two very different types of photographs.
