For this assignment, I chose to you dogs. The first two pictures are of my puppy, Tazmin. She is a four month old Bull mastiff who has a very expressional face. I took this picture while she was in her crate. The bars of the crate are very worn, giving a jail-like feel. Her eyes are big and sad looking which was perfect for this picture.
To make the picture more intense, I heightened the contrast to make the bars of the crate look even more harsh. Adding the contrast also made it look more textured without using a filter. Lastly, I changed her eye to bright red and used a blood teardrop from the internet to add a focal point.
I took this picture when Kai was mid yawn. He is a two year old Thai Ridgeback who can look a little frightening at times. Adding a completely black background made his stand out a lot more.
To make his yawning a little more intense, I added a filter and changed the colour to sepia. I then found picture of flies from different angles and placed them so that it looks as it the are flying out of his mouth and onto the camera lens.

Taylor, not only do yo have good computer skills, but you are really pushing yourself on the creativity quotient. Well done. No one said a "portrait" is always a person.
ReplyDeleteDogs are challenging subjects because you can't tell them how to pose. You did a good job catching a suitable moment and then capitalizing on the feeling.
Now...if we could get you to finish on time and eliminate the careless typos...you'd be close to perfect:)
