My photography session on back of the head portraiture was very interesting. During this session I got the opportunity to shoot both in the studio and outside, I did this to gain a wider range of photographs for this topic. I didn't find this topic particularly interesting because every photo was similar, as it was the back of a head however this was part of an enlightening challenging element of the topic which was to make each photograph unique. Outside the studio it was interesting to find new backgrounds which would look good in the photograph however it was difficult to master the blurring effect which I didn't particularly enjoy. In the studio it was fun and challenging using the different coloured screens to change the value of the photographs for example I used black, white and pink which created lighter and darker tones within the photographs. Some of my favourite photographs were...
I liked this photograph because I like the way that the wall behind provides an interesting background for the people plus it is actually slightly blurry which was the aim.
These are two of my finished edited photographs from the studio shoot for back of head portraiture. I chose these photographs because I like the way the backgrounds make the colours of the subjects hair stand out.
Progression:
If I could progress with back of the head portraits I definitely would due to the fact it restricts the identity of the subject and the viewer can come to whatever un-biased decision about the subject that they choose. One progression idea I had would be to focus on people with different colours of hair, I'd want to do a collection which focused on the different shades for example one on different types of blonde, brown, reds and blacks which would focus on natural hair, then one which focused on dyed hair creating a rainbow within my pictures of peoples dyed hair from bright orange to subtle lilac. This idea also involves the formal elements of colour and form.
