This weeks project is: grain. I knew I wanted to do a portrait of someone for this theme. Grain has such a cool gritty film feel to it and (for me) it had to be in black and white... Today when I went to the gym I grabbed coach DJ and asked him to sit for a quick photo. Obviously he obliged and I have week 18 project done!
You have to know that coach DJ is such a cool laid back guy. He's so easy going and smiles a lot. And of course for this photo I asked him not to smile. This photo would not have worked had he been smiling looking at the camera. I had planned on having his face only have lit with the window light. But the natural light source was pretty high so it gave him ghoulish lighting on his face. I had him put his hat back on and tilt his face just enough to see his features... I love it! I'm glad the lighting worked the way it did because coach DJ wears his hat a lot and I think it really made the portrait come together well.
