For my familiar portrait I wanted to have one of the portraits I took in the studio to be the final piece. I have started to like low key portraiture a lot more in recent shoots, so it only made sense to use one of these images at the top of Alice, but then I was struck with the option of black and white or colour. I used to religiously use black and white, but in recent weeks I have started to use colour in my work a lot more and it is very freeing and has helped develop my skills as a photographer and media practitioner. I feel like I am going to use the image of Alice in colour as I feel that this image is stronger. I also really like the images of Callum as they are very striking and visually appealing the way I have I have used light to just capture the face and eye, this create visual interest.
The image I have decided to go with is the black and white image of Alice as I feel like this is very complimentary to my style of photography that I am used to.
