For this assignment we were asked to take a portrait outside using a scrim to soften the lighting. Unfortunately by the time I was able to shoot, the scrim was broken. Another problem I had encountered, was that I didn't have any concepts that I wanted to execute for the photograph. After pondering for a while I just decided to shoot my friend Karl (as seen in the picture above). I wanted him to portray his "inner woodsman". The elements of design that are seen in this photo are texture, balance, contrast, and lines. Problems I had were ones that i previously stated, as well as when I was printing the photograph his chest and arms were really faded. I tried to burn the photo however it didn't seem the fix the problem. The major thing that I would do different, is have an actual concept before shooting.
