Expressive Light
Suburban Sunday’s is a magazine starring Rebekah as Kim Anderson. Kim Anderson is a suburban mom who enjoys tea, flowers, and cooking. My favorite portrait was of Rebekah holding a mug with her pinky up. This was taken using a lighting angle from the left. My camera was placed in front of Rebekah, but she is looking slightly to the left. The lighting was not reflected, but it was made less intense by doubling and sometimes tripling reflectors over the light. I believe this photo is strong because oh how the light is strong on one side, and slowly fades as you look to the other side. There’s one leading line in the mug leading to her face. Texture is also found in her hair and in the sleeve of her sweater.
