Before I started shooting for perfect lighting, I thought about how I could make my photographs unique from other perfect lighting photographs. I looked at Richard Avedon and realized that the composition could be perfect but if the person in the photograph doesn't have some sort of connection with me, successful perfect lighting photographs would not be possible. So I decided to use my best friend as a model because she is beautiful! I wanted a wide range of different emotions and I wanted to portray different things. When I directed my model for this photograph, I was trying to 1. show off her insane amount of hair 2. show off her Monroe birth mark 3. show texture. I really love looking at photographs where the fabric and texture is raw and authentic. I edited this photograph with cool colour tints to emphasize and correspond with her emotion in this photograph. I like how while still looking natural, her expression is some what cold and reluctant.
