"Freiheit statt Angst"

For the first week of my concentration I decided to try a rather angsty look. The photo I was inspired by featured a female model in a purple wig, a lace collar, a pastel wardrobe and light background, wanting to veer in a more complex direction I chose a black turtle neck and dark metallic makeup to create a more intense look. The models wig was originally a vibrant purple but through editing with the color mixer on Lightroom changed the purple to a darker blue. I an increased contrast and exposure while turning down shadows and highlights to cause the dark parts of the image to blend into the backdrops darkness, which I think creates a more mysterious look.

This image relates to my concentration because I used low-key lighting to create a fashion portrait in which I edited by muting bright colors.

Check out my blog to see the post processing involved with this image. I used most steps from this tutorial but not all.

In regard to lighting I placed a beauty dish accessory just above the model's head, slight angle facing down toward his eyes. I overexposed the white backdrop about 1 stop.

Dit is voor mij duidelijk een foto die communiceert. De vrouw op de foto kan verschillende emoties naar de kijker overbrengen. Het eerste waar ik direct aan dacht was het eenzaam thuis zijn, wachtend tot haar vriend weer terug thuis kwam van een (naar verwachting) onveilige reis.
