This is a photograph of Monica that I captured with the use of strobe lighting and a white background fabric. Monica is the subject of this piece. This image does not follow the rule of thirds.
Within Monica, I was able to capture light, middle and dark values. This use of tone serves to make this portrait a more interesting one. This piece illustrates more contrast than that that is, generally, expressed in my photographs. I chose to shoot this picture in focus, so as to grant the viewer a, clearer, sight of Monica's shirt.
With these shots, I had hoped to create a commercial piece. It was for this reason, that I chose to whiten the background of this work. I also included a handful of Photoshop effects within this piece, that were all, for the most part, demonstrated on Photoshopessentials.com.
I feel that this artwork is, ultimately, a successful one, by virtue of my success in adding image effects through Photoshop.
