In this assignment, we were told to take a portrait of anyone. Naturally, I took a portrait of my best friend Jaida. But our assignment wasn't o just take a picture, but to create a moment that was captured in time, like Manjari Sharma. In this photo, you can see the model with a slight grin, gazing into the camera. She is standing in a doorway with natural lighting flooding over her face and body. In this figurative piece of work, you can see the squares of the tiles in the background, and the circles of Jaida's head and eyes. the image was in focus, and everything about it is intentional.
This image is light, as I slightly adjusted the brightness and contrast to give it warmer and happier feel. We were laughing and having a good time and I just wanted to capture that like Sharma did. This was taken, basically outdoors as the model is emerging from a doorway into the sun.
To me, this work was successful. I like the way it turned it out and am satisfied with my work. The photo is so clean and warm to me, and I feel a happy vibe from it, which is what was happening at the time. I like it!
