Window Portrait - Maks Danilin

This week’s assignment, as everyone has mentioned, was definitely harder than it sounded.  I took hundreds of pictures of countless angles and at different times of the day to play with the shadow placement on my subjects face.  Here are my favorite two, the rest in fotothing.  The first picture I chose because of the unique shadow the drapes cast.  The original picture was shot horizontally and left too much room between the subject and the window so I chose to crop the picture.

 For the second shot, I used the blinds to add shadow to the subjects face.  I darkened the blinds of the shot because it seemed so bright that it took the attention off the subject.
