Effect of the lighting...

Right this might sound daft but it’s what I think about my images so far.  I didn't intend for this to happen, but when I look at my images the lighting has created an interesting aspect of my shots. It appears to create a glow around the models head. This reminds me of initially old Hollywood and the classic film stars and how they would light the back of their heads.

This image of Audrey Hepburn shows what I mean. The glow behind her head really illuminates her and draws you into the image. It makes you look at her face and the fact that the edges out and get darker it almost pulls you in to the center of the image. After realizing this I think that this is a really beautiful attribute to my images and something I’m happy to have accidentally made happen. 





After thinking about this more I realized it has an ever earlier reference and in fact it resembles paintings of saints and how they are portrayed in pictures. Even though I didn't mean for this to happen I am really happy because I think that this attribute gives my images a more classic and add timeless feel.
