Studio test shoot


Here is one of the images from my studio test shoot.. it looks a bit funny on here.. blogger has changed it a bit..
anyway, this is what I want my studio portrait series to look like.. I am very happy with the lighting... may play with it a bit depending on the colouring of the skin of my models..

Final Semester Folios

I've decided to focus on two separate folios this semester... One being studio portraits and the other being environmental portraiture.. My studio folio will be black and white head shot portraits of Indigenous Australians.

I originally got my idea after researching John William Lindt & Paul Folesche's works. Here are two examples of Lindt's works that helped me come up with my idea. Originally I wanted to re-create these types of photographs, using Indigenous people from the community that I live in. My idea has slightly changed and I will be doing tight head shots instead of including half of the body..
