Composition 5- Portraits

Portraits:
These portrait photos are inspired by Richard Avedon's work, as he is a portrait photographer.

From watching Avedon's documentary, I learned that he only actually took the photos of his subjects after the models put down their "mask" and would start to show their emotions to Avedon and his camera. I tried to do this same thing, but I didn't have enough time to accommodate for not taking the first few "masked" photos. I took pictures of Daro and Stewart.

I illustrated the Rule of Thirds hor...
