Silhouetted Profile of a Woman in Dramatic Light
Wednesday, February 1st, 2006 at 7:17:30 PM · 2006/Roll 48/Roll 48
This photograph captures a woman named Penelope in a dramatic side-profile view, heavily underexposed against a bright, blurred background that creates a strong silhouette effect. The image was taken with a Canon EOS 20D using an 85mm lens, a classic portrait focal length that produces the pleasing background blur (bokeh) visible in the out-of-focus white wall or screen behind her. Her long dark hair frames the silhouetted contour of her face, with subtle red lip color just barely visible at the edge of the shadow. The mood is introspective and cinematic, suggesting the subject is absorbed in thought or conversation. The available light setup and shallow depth of field give the image a documentary or candid portrait quality.
