Exercise 2 - Expressive Lighting



Touch by Isabelle Gauthier 2007.
The lighting, the clarity and sharpness, the framing, the focus point are all harmonized into this composition. I like the color and depth of this particular photo. Gauthier is more often know for shooting pin-up type models, focusing on rockability aspect of a model via tattoos nd piercings. I find that within that style, she is most efficient. This image shows her experimental side that tends to stay away from bright colors and glamour within the model. I like it because by doing this, subsequently she adds color and glamour to the photo without trying; so as to speak, she focuses more on the surface of the shot, i.e., lighting and focus, rather than the model itself.
