Work Diary - Studio Back of Head

In this session we were studying the formal element of portraiture but instead of taking photographs of the face we were told to take them of the back of peoples heads. We had two different settings, in the studio and on location. 

In the studio we were split into groups and sent in, we had an array of different coloured backgrounds we could use; white, black and pink. I found this topic quite easy because taking a photograph of the back of someones head isn't hard. 

Progession;

If i was to redo this session i would like to take some pictures with the white backgrounds as it would brighten up the photographs, this is an example. It makes the details in her braiding much more clearer. 

I like this photograph of Dylan as it captures his back as well as the black background. It captures his stillness. 

 I like this photograph of Meghan as it has the back of her head and also the movement of her arms whilst she holds up the feather boa. I like this picture because it is more interesting than the others.
