Portrait Series

© Jazmine Richardson 

This photo series shows me doing my hair. I have naturally curly hair that I've learned to love. The photo series shows me doing my hair in simple steps. It starts from brushing and washing it and ends with me blow drying and finally having it done. I chose to make the photo black and white because I really like the feel it gives the whole series. I took the pictures as I did my hair so as the day went on the lighting changed also, which made some pictures brighter than others. For next time, I would've used a blank background.  The background was busy when I took the photos so I tried to blur them out so the attention was on me doing my hair. 

Composition Book

Informal Balance 

I believe this photo represents informal balance. Even though they're two balls, they are both different colors and textures. Making the photo asymmetrical.

Silhouette

This photo represents silhouette. The model in the photo has the lighting behind her which makes her appear darker. 

Sharp Focus 

This photo shows a sharp focus. The picture is very clear and shows great detail.

 Formal Balance

This photo shows formal balance. You can see that it is somewhat symmetrical. If the photo was folded in half it would be almost identical.

Angle Up 

The photo shows the angle up position. The image is taken from down low looking up, creating a worm's eye view.
