Sherrie K.




This photo is from the final portrait assignment. I wanted to make my portrait something that is not cliche. So I decided to take a photo of something that reflects my Middle Eastern culture. My friend volunteered to be my model and it worked out perfectly. I had her wear a veil to make the photo more mysterious and give it an "Arabian Nights" theme. The rules of composition that I used for this photo was rule of thirds, good use of light, and interesting focal point. The principle design I mainly used is contrast. I think the way that the light hits her face and the emotion in her eyes makes this a very successful photo. The contrast of the dark veil against her face makes her features stand out as well. There are dark-darks, light-lights, and medium grays which makes the contrast very striking. I also like the angle that this photo was taken, it gives it a good depth of field.
