This is a portrait of my friend Charlotte. The focus of this photograph is her face. The background is irrelevant. The trees in the background are far away while her face is closer and in focus. This is a figurative piece.
The shapes in this photograph are organic. It mostly consists of middle tones, but they contrast each other. This photograph is slightly out of focus. This was unintentional, but I like the effect.
This image is light. It is bright and Charlotte's expression shows that she is at ease. This was taken outdoors.
I think it is successful because it has emotional impact. It grasps your attention. It also documents Charlotte as a person.
