Emotional portraits:

  • cracks
  • asymmetrical
  • dull colours enhance facial features
  • textures: smooth, sharp, frosted, cloudy, clear
  • central
  • sense of emotion
  • posing (set up)

The face is slightly distorted yet in all of these images through the use of reflections, focused face with frosted backdrop or objects hindering full view of the face.


Neon Light Portraits:

  • sharp focus
  • coloured lights
  • party scene
  • fun and vibrant colours

These images all show lights and reflections of light creating a fresh and pastel feel.

The sharpness and contrast of the images with the highlighted areas create beautiful cool toned compositions.

  • spots/stripes/random
  • close up and intimate
  • psychedelic effect

Extremely vivid and vibrant colours of the UV paints contrasted by the dark tones of the skin.
