Assignment 4- The Portrait- Spencer Strasser

 

Assignment 4

By Spencer Strasser

Portrait:

Due to the current situation the world is dealing with, all photos in both part A and part B will have my brother as the subject rather than various different people.

Part A: Close-Up Portraits

Short description:

For these close-up portraits, the main focus was on the lighting, the frame and in terms of the subject himself, I attempted to really focus on the eyes as you can really tell a lot about someone simply through their eyes and/or facial expressions. I used different lighting, some natural, some black and white, some darker lighting mixed with a little bit of light, etc...

Part B: Environmental Portraits

Short description:

For these portraits, I attempted to show my brothers natural environment based on his hobbies and everyday rituals such as sleeping, working out, golfing, etc... In each photo, I payed attention to significant detail of the frame/background so that they would relate to the action in the photo as well (for example, the greenery while golfing, the exercise equipment while working out, etc...) As well, in these photos I varied between natural light and/or adjusted lights in the rooms.
