Week 2 portraits

Out the two...
I'm unsure which photo looks better.







They are all abit too dark. I have a bit of trouble getting lighting right when I take photos.
I can't choose which shots out of this selection look best. Some are blurred, some aren't but I like them all. I really wanted to find a lone street light, that was shining brightly while my nan stands underneath it,  looking like a lone traveller with only the bright lights watching over her journey, and guiding her home. It reflects on alot of who she is- quite stubborn, stands alone, strong. This makes me worry sometimes, because she is alone so much that no-one would watch over her if anything was to happen.

  1. I love that we have to search within these images, dig through the darkness to find the figure, the face, the body language, the expression. I think the enormity of the black makes her seem more solid, more strong, maybe more stubborn like you say. I think, yes, in places they need a bit more exposure to make it a bit easier on this but I think this method of image making does have some validity and a role in your work. I love how the light outlines and silhouettes your subject. What a great nan!
