Kevin Portrait #2
Kevin posed for me on Christmas as I was trying out my new 28″ Westcott Apollo softbox. There are four pictures from the series up on Flickr, I included two here.
In the first one, above, I tried something new with the cropping. I used a square aspect ratio, and put Kevin’s right eye in the center of the screen. The rule of thirds came into play, though, as the bright portion of his face fills the center third of the image, with darkness in the outside thirds. This combination puts his face off center but the balance feels right.
Black and white conversion was done in Lightroom 3.
