Portrait - Natasha

This portrait was actually taken using a studio kit at my home. I borrowed a full set of lighting, attachments and backdrops . I photographed my friend for a studio assignment and have decided to create a simple portrait, quite close up and I wanted to create as natural an image as possible. I photographed my model using a white backdrop and a soft box light to create a fairly low key yet evenly exposed portrait. I feel her natural stance reflects  the simple quality without making the portrait seem over staged or uncomfortable. I cropped the portrait slightly to improve composition and adjusted the exposure a little using the ‘curves tool’ in Photoshop. The portrait was taken using my Nikon D40 DSLR camera and studio lighting.
