i don't know anything about portraiture, so i'm using your image to try to figure out what i think i would or wouldn't do in this situation, as well as what i notice and get out of your image.
if the art of portraiture is to capture the essence of the individual, you have succeeded. the lighting on you is fantastic, and the range of tonalities really bring out your character. the focus and expression are perfect. while i appreciate the statuette and like the repeating zig-zag, i find the hot-spots are very distracting--they tend to make me concentrate on a supporting element, rather than focusing on the primary subject--unless that is what you intended all along...which, if that is the case, you have done a remarkable job. thanks for sharing, and good luck! |
