portraits: ‘Good Vs Evil’

Here I went to the studio to take a few photos, we tried to get a coloured background to represent different things, for example I used a red colour to appear on the models face as it creates an evil effect almost as if the model is a bad person, the background is quite neutral and is just in clack and white to show that the model has no filter, evil is the only thing they represent.

here I tried to experiment with different colours, for example by changing out the red and using a purple sought of represents a mysterious mood which wouldn’t be identified very well, personally my favourite photo is the top middle photo, i really like how the red sits perfectly on the models face, and the way the model is looking away almost as if she was hiding something from the camera, not wanting to tell the truth.

Here I used photoshop to add some colour and light to my photos, I tried to add a gradient look to make more pictures look more detailed, some of the photos have very different lighting such as the one on the right looks very light and almost has an ash look to it while the one on the left looks more dark toned, where the lighting is dark and the facial features are harder to see, this represents an evil look more than the one on the right as the features of that photo are more soft. However the one in the middle looks very evil too although u can see the facial features quite well, the facial expression that the model holds are very sinister and the back ground is a plain light with green reflected onto the model which could symbolise good but could also easily be a trick. That represents a mysterious look.

When editing these photos into more detail I would quite like to overlay half of the good vs evil photos onto each other to create an image where both sides are competing with each other, its almost a war of which face is going to win. Both of these photos can easily represent someone’s mood on different days and the storyline could show that the person is trying their hardest to fight the evil from showing, they only want there good side to be seen.

Here I tried to recreate the second one down however it didn’t really go to plan as the lighting was very dark and the facial feature weren’t visible, but I do like that it has a red background as it helps to bring out the evil. I do feel as though having a black background could be sufficient as everything else is black out except one part on the models face.
