Scrim Lighting Piece




       This is a portrait of Tia, that was taken outdoors, using Scrim lighting. Tia is the subject of this piece, and she is relatively far away from the viewer. This photograph is figurative, rather than abstract. 

      I feel that this image has somewhat of an interesting composition. Textures including those in the grass and those in Tia's jacket help to add interest to this artwork. I believe that my use of value in this picture contributes to its success, as there are dark, light and mid-tones, as well as an abundance of contrast. The shapes in the grass and those in Tia's shirt also serve to create interest in this work. 

     This portrait documents Tia's general attitude. I feel that I was successful in capturing her apathy in this piece. The photograph is neither very dark nor very light, because I wanted this image's mood to be derived almost entirely from Tia's expression. The photo. is not in focus, and this was not done intentionally. 

    I feel that this artwork is successful, because of its values and textures.
