EXAMINATION OF INSPIRATIONS:
Categorizing images from classic Renaissance style paintings to modern interpretations of that dated style comprise my inspiration for posed portraits. I favor these specific stylistic choices because I heavily appreciate the detailed and in focus faces and outfits of the subjects in this photo as I love when an image can draw me from the face to the attire, because of the extreme detail present. However, I do not favor the dark, and desolate background as present in most of the modern interpretations of the renaissance style, because I desire more detailed background such as that which is present in the background of the "Mona Lisa". From being able to see the wrinkles in a subjects face, or lack there of, an being able to see the texture of their outfits, such as the plastic bag and Mona Lisa's airy attire, I prefer and adore extremely detailed images, whether pictures or paintings. Not only is the extreme detail important to me, but, the emotion on these subjects faces and the posture they have in the pose chosen for the shoot are also crucial to why I favor these images and this style as a whole. The emotion on their faces are favored because their faces are very mysterious and have to be thought on for a long time because the viewers need to examine the photo thoroughly to figure out what the subject is thinking. Through making the viewers having to spend time figuring out what the subject is thinking, meaning the photo/portrait itself is enticing and interesting. Such as in the "Mona Lisa", her awkward smile mixed with her curious eyes grasps the viewers attention and makes them think for a long time to figure out her true emotion. Additionally, the posture of these individuals or subjects is very confident and forceful in a way because when combined with their emotions it can be taken that they either want to be left alone or are in someone calling the viewer to follow or come to them. PROPOSAL: Add elements to your blog with pictures: who you want to photograph, clothes you want then to wear, locations you want to use, and overall elements you want to use in your photos! To test my abilities and challenge myself to take a photo with the same stylistic approach as my inspirations, I would want to take a photo of a female individual with a very lustrous fabric that is very smooth in appearance and very elegantly rippled on the individuals body. I do also want to have Rembrandt lighting because I feel that with the style of clothing and style I am going for, renaissance, it would be the most appropriate. Additionally to Rembrandt, I would like to have a back-light. I want a back-light in my photo because I want to Photoshop my subject out of the photo and put them on a background like the one behind Mona Lisa. The last piece of lighting that I would want to incorporate into my portrait is a butterfly light so that I can replicate the shadowy eye brow bone that is present on the Mona Lisa. Although most of my lighting elements are desired currently, they may over power each other, and in that case I would sacrifice the butterfly light, as I feel that light would disrupt the Rembrandt effect that I am sure I want. To position my subject I want there chest to be puffed out a small bit to make them seem a bit intimidating and there backs to be straight, and I want their arms to be parallel to each other and for them to be against her sides. Additionally, I would appreciate if my subject would also interlock her hands so that she would appear in a sense like the Mona Lisa. Lastly, I want my subject to give a faint smile, that is not totally obvious, and for her to have a somewhat joyous look in her eyes. For properties I want in the photo, I may want the subject to hold something, maybe a candle or such, something with a deep meaning behind it, yet is readily available for me to use.
