CHALLENGE TWO
THEME:Emotive Portraits- Take emotive portraits. Capture anger, fear, happiness, anger, etc. The idea is that the portrait reveals something very personal. The look in the eyes, the wrinkles, or the eyelashes, the smile, the soul as it reveals itself in the expression. When it’s done right, the connection is immediate. You feel something - It could be affection, or despise, but you feel it, and that’s effective. The secret to a good Emotive portrait work is not as commonly considered, the model.Of course the model is important, but I believe that a good photographer can tell a touching story about every one of us, if he does it right. Emotive portraits have to do a lot with technique - Light, angles, composition, and focus. But, not technique is the secret either. IMHO the secret is in the answer to the question: “What is it that I want to tell you about this man (or woman)?” After you answered that question, all you have to do is use all you got to show that special emotion. When it’s done right, it’s hard to find something as touching a face with a story.from someone at deviant
