Senior Portrait Article
"Windy day into an opportunity rather than an obstacle" caught my eye because instead of being discouraged for something I have no control of (weather/temperature/lighting/etc) and all the prior planning, I just became innovative and made something out of whatever the surrounding will be for my model.
Portrait Examples
Sky Ferreira by sandy Kim
Candid looking into mirror expressionless
Looking at own reflection with more reflection also can't see photographer gives cool look mirrors in photo is cool idea
Frida by marcel Castenmiller
Candid looking outside
Looking out into horizon with warm expression of nostalgic like feeling inside car can symbolize many things like time
Sky Ferreira by sandy Kim
Bored expression
Looking at camera with not forced expression just doing candid things like chewing gum blowing bubbles postured casually
Kirsten Dunst Sofia Coppola
candid
Lighting and pug and bed surrounding gives a morning look and lighting gives a nice emotion to photo although there's no smile and it's just candid, it's like a start of a day
Natasha Poly by Tim Walker
Looking at camera posed for fashion shoot
The accessories and makeup makes a boring background pop .
New York, New York by Lauren greenfield
Candid looking at something kind of seeming distressed
Her bright blue background contrasts with the dirty streets and her skin is glowing under the sun and is light compared to anything else. Overall she's like the focus of the photo with good angle and lighting.
Jim Morrison Joel Brodsky
Expression: he was intoxicated in this photo but the photographer captured a good image of him . Candid image looking through camera
The photo itself is very simplistic and sometimes more isn't always better
Kate moss Corinne day
Expression staring out somewhere candid
The sepia and also simplistic background and apparel is very nice along with the contrast between her face shadows hair which emphasizes her expression u can see her eyebrows make a kind of squint because of how bright the natural light is giving
'Purity Of White' Jacquelyn Jablonski by Julia Noni for Vogue Japan May 2014
Looking at camera no expression really
The use of shadow was captured nicely how it splits 1/2 her face and emphasize her gaze
Chloe Sevigny photographed by Juergen Teller
Expression staring into camera posed in a way that isn't very trying hard it's a relaxed type
I like the simple colors that at the same time pop with while also everyhing remains balanced. The faded orange pants with blues make the colors look stronger and not so strong is washes out her face or shirt it's like a enhancement of the photo and without the chair she couldn't be really in that pose
