Artist Statement for Portraits
My favorite portrait that I took a picture of is Jack's black and white photo after practice. Jack is one of my new friends that I met this year. He plays basketball just like me. I took the photo in of the gym rooms after practice finished. Since there was a lot of surrounding objects, I tried to take a photo with an angle that isolates the majority of the background. The lighting of the original picture was really good. I took the photo at an angle tilted to the right side a little. I also used a little bit of selective focus.
