looking at photographing Martina from different angles. highlighting the red tones in her hair. this is my first shoot with Martina and so i was testing out some ideas.
 |
| 1. |
 |
| 2. Similarly with previous shoot, with Andrea. The chair is distracting from the subject. This image is perhaps slightly too dark, needs more light! |
 |
| 3. This is one of my favourite images from the shoot. Like the work of Pyke, this image is very invasive of martina's personal space. There is no hiding from the subject and her blue eyes are shown vividly against her gorgeous ginger hair. |
 |
| 4. Similar to above image. However i feel that the above image is stronger as shows a more personal connection between the viewer and the subject. In both the above image and this one i think that the background needs to be white! |
 |
| 5. I am particularly fond of this particular image. I think that the light balance works well here, however i would say that unfortunately it does not showcase her hair colour particularly successfully. |
 |
| 6. Too dark! |
 |
| 7. This is an approach i have never tried. Showing only part of the subjects face. Again i feel would work better with a plain white backdrop. The framing i feel works as leaves you open to consider what she looks like, however concentrates on her amazing hair colour. Which is ultimately where the focus should be |
 |
| 8. Hiding her identity. Should be more lit and general feedback from tutors is that it is better to show part of the face at least |
 |
| 9. this particular image is too dark. However if it was lit better i feel that this would be a good composition to consider |
 |
| 10. Again, similarly to above image. needs to be better lit. I like how the eyes are in darkness. You can tell a lot by looking into someones eyes and having these in darkness means the viewer wont have this interaction and focus is on lips and her hair. |

What do these images tell me about the subject?
Natural beauty. perhaps more interested and attracted to the images because of her beauty rather than because of the photography skill involved.
Why should the viewer care about these images ( this stranger?)
from looking at these i don't think the viewer should! perhaps apart from image. 3. This image has a connection between the sitter and the viewer. You look deep into her stunning blue eyes. Its almost as if she is about to ask you a question.
Need to continue shooting and experimenting as these questions seem hard to answer!
