Portrait

For this assignment, I had to take a picture of someone in the style of a portraiture. I took various pictures, but this one was my favorite for multiple reasons. First of all, the most obvious thing, her facial expression is just funny. I like the fact that it gives her character, unlike the other pictures which is just them smiling, or just being photogenic. I also like the lighting in the photo, it showed a great deal of her face, and it wasn't to brightening. There is something I didn't like about this image, and that is the background. I like the objects and stuff, but it's the wall, there is something about it that bugs me about it, and I think it's the coloring, or the fact that it looks empty. I could've cropped it, but I like the little items in the back, so I didn't. One issue that I had with this is the decision to make it black and white, or keep it with colors, in the end though I kept the colors, obliviously, I just think it looks better. I obviously made some modifications to this, but only small amounts. First I increases the Saturation, and Vibrance for a bit, to make it looks more colorful, then I increased the brightness and contrast to look a little better.
