Updated 10/7/23: Stylized portraits created with Daria Meyer in the studio, featuring one of my hand-painted backdrops.
Here is a quick look into my mind when I was creating these images. Below are two diagrams notating the HOW and WHY. All in all, I wanted to create an elevate photo of an artist, an actress. The black and white image has a hint of old Hollywood, while the color image is more modern. In both images, the EYES are the focus, as they are what draws the viewer in.
