portrait 2-In color


This was taken in the afternoon, and the sun was coming from behind me, shining directly on her face. As you can see form the sky, there were very few clouds, so it was really bright out and the light was more direct instead dispersed for an overall brightness. The picture itself isn't that great of a portrait shot because of the background, so I added a vignet to it to try and bring the focus to her better. I like this picture though because if you know jill thats how she always is, so its more of a genuine photo and not so much a fake or posed shot. Again, the vignetting helps start the focus on her and not the background, and the background has a slight blur to it which helps as well. The sky is pretty prominent so your eye instantly wants to travel up from her face. Since the light is coming directly at her there's not really any shadows being cast other then from the hair in her face.
