 Portrait avedon  -

This composition focuses on the physical state of the person. This style is called avedon. My model named laurel is the person in these portraits. The goal of this assignment is to make the portrait simple but filled with perspective and presence. The composition makes the person looking at the photo see the person in the portrait as simple but complex at the same time. I, as the photographer, try to capture pure emotion. I took many photos to bore my model and get photos when the model is truly relaxed and in a natural state of simplicity. Richard avedon's photos capture the same thing. Simple, full of perspective yet a complex view on the model and a sense of mystery. This is what this composition focuses on.
