Week 11 - Portrait

This week was interesting working with portraits and I have always enjoyed taking portraits. I wasn't very happy with the lighting in this shot, because it was overcast, but I think the shot is okay. Like many others, I had to think about the background and make sure that it was appropriate and I think that this works, with a sort of up close greenery and a background landscape view. In photoshop I did some minor spot healing and and I changed the picture to black and white and made adjustments with the levels. I can't wait to take more portraits!

  2. Rachael,

    I need to rectify the spelling of swerthy and or swarthy. It is not the word I meant. I meant savvy, as in a image of current looks and artistic. Sorry. It is really a cool shot.
