Today is a shot that i have taken to use for a college project.As part of our portraiture block we have to do a number of portaits (including high key, low key, school portrait, group and corporate portraits). This one is one where we were asked to produce a portrait of a family member of group and as such i have used my daughter Caron as the model.
I really didn't want to do a typical high or low key style portrait for this and found a picture of this style in a book about photographing children.
It's a bit of a strange one and is shot with a wide aperture and a long focal length through glass (which is the light reflection).
I deliberately used our back door with me in the garden and Caron in the house as the light was best there and the window is a bit dirty at the moment due to the dog jumping at it :)
I really like this and think it has a bundle of emotion and grit in it and really makes people think.
Something about this gives a slightly eerie quality but it's a lovely shot.
