Portraiture, Image Bank

Both of these images show interesting examples of portraiture. The images use the focus of the camera in different ways but ultimately achieve the same result as it causes the audience's eyes to focus only on the person within the  image.

Portraiture is an interesting topic, it allows us to convey emotion and life all in one picture. Portraiture can be used in many ways to keep the subject interesting to audiences. From the images above we can see how light, tone, reflection and depth can be used to alter our perception of the subject. I would like to incorporate some of these techniques into my own work if given the chance, I would like to use black and white filters and mirrors to convey tone and reflection in my work in order to attain audience attention.
