This, catagorically, multi-faceted photo is so credibly set-up, it could pass as a candid. The (for a portrait or self-portrait) somewhat unflattering lighting falling diagonally through the shot lends considerable drama and realism to what could have made for a sweeter and (artistically) weaker image without this. The soft focus compensates aptly in this respect.
Most striking, to me, is the strong integrity of this shot, supported by a convincing arrangement and an apparent authenticity of choices. The facial expression and 'cast' of the subject alone communicate the full gamut of human emotion, far beyond the defined topic.
The image is 'transporting' to the extreme, and, IMO, a model fit for study. > 9 |
