Portraits

All of these pictures were taken candidly. As Diane Arbus said, "Instead of arranging it, I arrange myself."


This portrait I took from the passenger seat with Steven in the driver's seat zoomed in really close. I didn't crop it, but I frame it crooked. The only other edit I made was to make the background greyscale.


For this portrait I was sitting below Steven and he was standing with the lights behind him. I converted this picture to greyscale and boosted the colors to create a slight tint, then framed it.


This picture was cropped out of a full body image. My intent was to focus on the shadows around the face and poise of the hand. I burned some of the shadows and midtones before framing.
