In these photos I was trying to capture similar portraits to Richard Avedon. I used black and white to capture the emotion in a more serious background. I also used darkening editing to bring out the expression in the faces of my models. Also when i was taking the photos i tried to make the model feel very comfortable like the camera was not even there.
Nice photos. The last one looks great, it is very emotionally touching.
ReplyDeleteNice photos Josh. I especially like how you were able to capture a variety of different emotions and sides of the models you photographed. You not only incorporated an effortless mood into your photos, but also a pensive, lively, and apathetic one.
ReplyDeleteI like how these photos look really candid. You did a good job of bringing out different expressions and emotions in each person.
ReplyDeleteThis series is a great start in capturing the details of Richard Avedon's film. I think you achieved your goal of making the model feel comfortable to bring out emotion in black and white images. On your next draft, I would focus more on making sure the model does not pose as much and bring out the natural mood. Great Job!
ReplyDeleteGood work Josh. I like that you composed your shots a bit differently throughout the series so things didn't become repetitive. I would consider trimming down the amount of shots though.
ReplyDeleteYou really captured your subjects true emotions. My favorite is your fifth picture.
ReplyDeleteyour strong points lay in your framing of subjects and i think you picked out really good photos from the bunch for looking like natural expressions. even though Avedon uses a completely white background, i think my favorite is the first photo and the way the shadow falls on the wall
ReplyDeletegreat photos josh! you did a good job of capturing true emotion in each portrait, and i like how you used more than just one photo of each model so you could get a view of different sides of everyone.
