Commercial Portraits
To take these two photos I went in the courtyard of my apartment building and
had my brother and his girlfriend pose for me in several different ways. For
my commercial portraits I wanted them to have the feel and look of a fashion
magazine so thats how I positioned them to look. These function as commercial
portraits because they are supposed to appeal to the audience and encourage them
to buy the magazine rather than just be fine art.
Fine Art
To take these photos I got some string lights and I wrapped my brother and his
girlfriend in the string lights turned off the lights and took as many photos as
I could. I told them to make whatever faces they felt like making to try and get
a meaningful emotion and photo out of the shoot. These function as fine art portraits
because they are meant to show something beyond the photo.
