Project 9 - Portrait Contact Sheet

For this project we had to take commercial and fine art portraits. I chose the ones that I liked the best and then edited them in Lightroom. These photos, originals and edits, are arranged on my contact sheet.


For my fine art portraits, I think that I will be using the sixth photo in the first row and the second photo in the fourth row. Both of these photos have lighting that creates shadows on the subject's face that I really like. The shapes created by the shadows tell a better story about the subject and the emotion they are portraying. For my commercial portrait, I am thinking of using the third and sixth picture in the fifth row, the second picture in the sixth row, or the the fourth picture in the sixth row. The photos in the fifth row are more commercial, but the lighting in the pictures in the sixth row is more effective. I like the idea of using the pictures in the sixth row as the front of a more thought provoking magazine.
