I took a book out of the library as i knew that Julia Margaret Cameron did a lot of really nice early portrait shots. The book was called 'From Life' however this was not what i expected it was a lot of words and only minimal images so i was only able to find a few nice portraits that i liked.
This image is the lightest out of the 3 that i have chosen from this book. I really like the way that the young girls face is framed by the white sari that she is wearing. She doesn't look as dark or creepy as the other two images. Gives a feel of innocence and purity. She doesn't however look very happy. Maybe this is because she had to stay still therefor had to keep a straight face?
What i like about this image is the way that the man appears from out of the shadows. Its really dark and has a kind of creepy feel to it. I like the way that you cant see where his body is its only his face in the light. There is really nice lighting hitting his face from the left hand side what highlights his features on the left side but isnt bright enough to highlight his body or most of the right side of his face.
