Photo Research

For me the photo in the right is one of the best portraits I’ve seen so far while conducting my research. I realize that it would be hard to recreate on 5x4 film because it looks to have been digitally edited, but with a bit of burning I could achieve a similar look.  It appeals to me because all her key features are perfectly exposed and the rest is blacked out which only enhances them. Before seeing this photo I didn’t consider doing a really close up shot but after this it’s probably one of my better options.
