This is a photograph of Monica, that was taken with the use of tungsten lighting. Monica is the subject of this piece, and she is relatively far away from the viewer. This picture follows the rule of thirds, to some extent.
Through this artwork, I chose to emphasize texture. The textures in Monica's hair and schal, as well as those in the tassels in the tapestry serve to create interest in this picture. The shapes in the tapestry, the jar and those in Monica's face also help to create interest in this work. This portrait was taken in focus intentionally, so that the viewer could easily see the texture in these fabrics.
I chose to capture Monica while she was exuding an interesting expression and to include the jar, to allow the viewer to draw their own conclusions about this piece.
I feel that this portrait is ultimately unsuccessful, because it does not meet with my artistic vision.
