Pushing the limits of little light and shadows can bring out the most mysterious and dramatic photographs which make perfect pieces of portrait photography to hang on the walls of your home. For today’s #PhotoADay image, I forced my reluctant model, AJ, to head outside in the dark and pose for a few shots. Lit only by a security light and hidden in the shadows, I was able to produce a low key portrait I was really happy with.
It’s always fun to push clients to try something different and quite honestly I think the differences are what make us as photographers individuals and truly artistic. One of the things I am hoping to accomplish by taking a #PhotoADay is to try to establish apparent differences in my imagery. By doing this I hope to be able to provide my future clients with finished products they love and images they couldn’t get if they chose to work with another photographer.
