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.

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.
