Introduction

Portraiture is one of the most common types or styles of photography, in which


the art of capturing a subject (usually a person), where facial features or
expressions are predominant. Photographers aim to focus on the persons facial
expressions because they usually want to emphasise on the given meaning of the
photographs. The importance of Portraiture is that the photographers are trying to
enhance and show the persons moods, feelings and personality.
In this project I will be showing the process as I experiment and produce a range of
photographs of different moods, using lighting and camera work for each picture. I
will also digitally manipulate some of the photographs from the photo shoots from
different moods. I will then analyse each photograph, saying whats going on, why
I did it and how I did it, etc. I chose to do Portraiture, as it is such an extensive
subject in photography, and my topic is Mood, so I thought I could show the
different Moods through portraiture. I will be doing a few different moods, such
as Tired, Happy, Angry, Upset, etc. I will play around with light and shadows for
some of the moods, such as Angry. For example, I may have a dark background
with a man screaming, and only one half of the face is in light whereas the other
half is in darkness.

History
Since the 1500s, portraiture was only ever possible through paintings. The
year 1500, was the year of Henry VIII. It wasnt until 1544 that the Camera
Obscura was introduced, which mathematician and instrument maker
Reiner's Gemma Frisius of Leuven University used to trace an image. Since
then, cameras have been developed and re-made throughout history. In
1855, Dry plates were invented and used in studios, producing black and
white photographs. In 1948, the Polaroid was introduced, where it would
produce a finished printed photograph straight from the camera, within a
minute. In 1975, digital cameras were introduced, and since then they
have been developed and made more advance ever since. In 2002, GoPro
was introduced by Nick Woodman. It allows the person to take extremeaction video photography or pictures in fast pace.
However, as of now, in 2015, people usually use their phones for taking
pictures or recording videos, as the megapixels are fairly up to that of a
camera.

The Importance of Lighting in


Photography
Lighting is one of the most important aspects used in
photography. Photographers use it to change the look
of an image, or to enhance somethings meaning. Every
photographer has to think about exposure, tone and
contrast to best capture the light we see that reflects
back off our subject.
With product (e.g. a watch) photography, the aim is to
create your own lighting. In the studio, you are in full
control over the lighting your subject is exposed to.
This lets you create the best shot you are hoping for.

Lee Jeffries

Lee Jeffries is a photographer of religious and spiritual iconography. His work is


not intended to be seen as just portraiture. It is seen to give - the subjects of his
photographs, who are mostly homeless people to give the people light and hope,
and not darkness and despair. His work is mainly focused on portrait photos of
homeless men, women and children, and with the use of light, he emphasises and
shows the moods, feelings and emotions of each person.
This work is most definitely NOT photojournalism. Nor is it intended as
portraiture. This came from Lee Jeffriess biography. His intentions are not to
seem like another portrait photographer, with no meaning in his pictures, but a
photographer who bring out and give hope and light to those who are not living,
and show how some people live in the world.
Even the blind guy has light pouring from his sightless eyes. I think Jeffries
intended his art to honour these people, not pity them. This shows the way Lee
Jeffries honour's those people and tries to present them in a more positive way, to
how they are presented currently. He wants to tell his audience that each person
has a story. His pictures have meanings and he wants to emphasize the reality of
the world from a different point of view. He imbues them with the iconic soul of
humanity.

Steve McCurry
Steve McCurry is an iconic photographer, and
has been for over 30 years. He was born in a
suburb in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where
he studied film at Pennsylvania State
University, and whereas after he worked for a
local newspaper. He was a freelance
photographer for a few years, where he then
took off to India traveling with little more than
a bag of clothes and another film, and
exploring the country with his camera.

Yousuf Kars
Yousuf Karsh is one of the most well-known
photographers of the 20th century. His main area of
work includes portraits of statesmen, artists, scientists
and men and women of accomplishments. His
extraordinary and unique portfolio presents the viewer
with an intimate and compassionate view of humanity.
Yousuf has worked with some of the most famous
people of the 19th and 20th Century, such as John F.
Kennedy, Albert Einstein, Churchill, Nelson Mandela,
Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, etc. His photographs
are in black and white, highlighting the time period
even more.

How to do Photography

Black and White

Editing an image to black and white, is a simple process, but if you want to really get impressive results, it
pays off by thinking about how and what you shoot. Knowing or learning how to use your photo editing
software would be useful and knowing what tools etc. to use, and how to get the most out of your shots.
The lighting in the photograph is important that it is clear before you do the shoot. It is quite simple to edit
your photograph to black and white, and manipulating the shadows and lighting.
When it comes to black and white photography, it is important to understand and being able to see that
from the colour photo, how the photograph will turn out when you edit it into black and white. You have
to focus on how the shot is shaped and the textures in the photograph, what will come out darker and
where you want the light to hit from what angle and darker and lighter tones, etc. The main factors to look
out for, for a successful black and white photograph is the tone and texture, especially, of a photograph,
and where it will add depth to the image.
It is important that the picture is clear to see and has enough light and the correct lighting to then be able
to be edited to the best extent.
There are four areas to focus on for successful black and white photographs:
Contrast, shape and form
Tone
Texture and detail
Graphic composition

Colour

When taking a picture of someone, hold the camera at the person's eye level to unleash the power of
those magnetic gazes and mesmerizing smiles. All by itself that eye level angle will create a personal and
inviting feeling that pulls you into the picture.
A plain background shows off the subject you are photographing.
Bright sun can create unattractive deep facial shadows. Eliminate the shadows by using your flash to
lighten the face. When taking people pictures on sunny days, turn your flash on. You may have a choice of
fill-flash mode or full-flash mode. If the person is within five feet, use the fill-flash mode; beyond five feet,
the full-power mode may be required.
On cloudy days, use the camera's fill-flash mode if it has one. The flash will brighten up people's faces and
make them stand out. Also take a picture without the flash, because the soft light of overcast days
sometimes gives quite pleasing results by itself.
If your subject is not in the centre of the picture, you need to lock the focus to create a sharp picture. Most
auto-focus cameras focus on whatever is in the centre of the picture. But to improve pictures, you will
often want to move the subject away from the centre of the picture.
Next to the subject, the most important part of every picture is the light. It affects the appearance of
everything you photograph.

What equipment to use for


photography
Possible equipment that can
be used for photography,
include a backdrop for the
subject to be placed in front
of, a camera stand for more
steady pictures, camera
lights (If possible) to be
able to adjust light to get
the best lighting as possible,
also, different camera
lenses can be used to get
the picture you want for
different subjects.

Planning for Photographs Props


5. Steve McCurry: Sad/ Crying
In this photograph by Steve McCurry, there is
a young boy with a gun to his head and hes
crying. This is one of the most shocking and
surprising photographs out of the ones I am
using because of the young boy who has a gun
to his head, and for me to be able to re-create
this picture, I had to use a fake plastic gun as
my prop before I took the photograph.

(Quick Sketches of own Photographs,


inspired by Photographers Lee
Jeffries)

Own Photographs, in style of


photographer: Lee Jeffries (Tired)
This photograph by Lee Jeffries is one of
my favourites. The fact that he uses actual
homeless people is captivating. He is
going against the norm in his photographs
by using homeless people, as they are
usually people we want to avoid and
ignore out on the streets, but Lee Jeffries
use them to capture different lives and
stories through his photographs.
I tried to create a replica of his
photograph and ended up with the
following photograph. I edited the photo
in the same way as Lee Jeffries black
and white. I tried to make the shadows
stand out by making it dramatically dark in
some places, etc. This makes the whole
picture stand out, and creates more of a
mood within the photograph.

Manipulation Process of Tired


Photoshoot

During the manipulation process of this photograph, I started off by opening it up in Windows
Office 2010 and edited the colour of the picture and made it black and white. In the colour
editing, I the placed the Saturation of the picture nearest to the left, the Amount around 40 and the Hue close to -60. I then edited the contrast to 12 and the Mid-tone to -40. The
brightness stayed at -5.

I then opened the picture up in Photoshop and made a


duplicate. Then I opened up a black background on a new tab
and cropped out the picture and copied it onto the black
background. I blurred the outlines of the picture and used the
Burn tool this made it look darker and more in the style of
Lee Jeffriess photographs.

I would also use the Dodge tool to adjust the


brightness a bit if its too dark, etc. As well as using
the dodge tool to adjust the brightness, I also used
the burn tool to make more shadow effects around
the face, and make the wrinkles stand out.

1. Tired: Feedback on Two Versions


Between these two versions of this
photograph, people felt that the
second version was not only the
best edited, but also expressed
most of what was trying to be
shown. They said that the shoulders
fading into the black background
looked best. The shadows in the
second version was better because
you can clearly see the details in the
shirt because of the shadows, as
well as the wrinkles in the mans
face in the forehead and under the
eyes, etc. The light is shown to be
coming mainly from the right of the
picture, as there are more shadows
on the left side of the mans face.

Own Photographs, in style of


photographer: Lee Jeffries (Angry)
I quite like this photograph by Lee Jeffries.
It clearly shows the emotions the man is
feeling: despair, out of his mind and
maybe even lost. However, I decided to
change my version of it to angry instead of
despair, because I thought it would give a
different effect on the audience that
would make them think. I chose a brick
wall background as it would add to the
mood in the picture. I also edited the
picture in the same way as Lee Jeffries;
Black and White. I tried to make the
shadows stand out by making it more dark
in some places, such as behind the hand
on the face and on the edge of the
forehead. This makes the whole picture
stand out, and creates more of a mood
within the photograph.

Manipulation Process of Angry


Photoshoot (Light/ Black and White)

During the manipulation process of this photograph, I started off


by opening it up in Microsoft Office 2010 and started off by going
on to edit the picture, and then changing the colour to grey scale
or black and white. Then I went to change the brightness and
contrast of the picture.

When I had finished editing the image, I opened it


in Photoshop and started editing with the shadows
and lighting by using the Burn tool this made the
picture look darker and more in the style of Lee
Jeffriess photographs.

I would also use the Dodge tool to adjust the brightness a


bit if its too dark. I also turned the picture the right way
round so it was facing the same direction as Lee Jeffries
photograph (so the face as facing left). I added some
shadows to the background using the burn tool, as this
might add to the emotion evoked in the photograph.

2. Angry: Feedback on Two Versions

The second version was the preferred


version between the two. This was
because people felt the editing was
better with the lighter brick wall
background and the mans face being
darker with the shadows. The shadows
behind the hand was best in this
version, and you can really see that the
light is coming from the direction that
the viewer looks at the picture. You can
see this from the shadows, not only
behind the hand, but also on the top of
the forehead. People also felt that with
the background being lighter, the man
stood out in the picture, and you could
see his expression more clearly. The
contrast was better in the second
version as well, because in the first
version, the contrast was more invert.

Own Photographs, in style of


photographer: Lee Jeffries (Scared)

This photograph is taken by the photographer Lee Jeffries.


Most of his work is primarily of homeless people which
where he takes photographs to show and express the
emotions and how they are feeling in their eyes. This picture
is a great example of how her emotions clearly show in her
eyes. I tried to re-create this photograph by Lee Jeffries by
taking a similar photograph of my own and editing it in the
style of Lee Jeffries. I did this by taking the picture with a
plain background, and then editing the background on
Photoshop so it would be black, and then editing the edges
of the girl (in my photograph) so that it would look like she is
coming forward from the darkness/ shadows, by fading the
edges black, so it fits with the black background. I also made
some adjustments with light and darkness in the face, so that
it would be more obvious from which direction the lighting
came from. I made two different versions of this picture, by
editing it in two different ways. I feel like this version is the
better version, and I also know this from the feedback I was
given from the questionnaire that I got people to take, to see
which of the two versions was the best, and the result was
that this one was the best. The lighting in the other version
wasnt as good in the face and you didnt really know from
what direction the light came from. Also the feedback told
me that the edges werent as well faded in with the
background and so therefore this first version was the best.

Manipulation Process of Scared


Photoshoot (Light, Darkness)

During the manipulation process of this photograph, I first opened it up in Microsoft


Office 2010 and went on to edit the colour of the picture from colour to black and
white so it would match better with the rest of my photographs. First I just changed
it so it was in a good black and white scale and then I edited it some more with the
contrast and making it slightly darker so more details would show through the
contrast and lighting and shadows.

I then opened the newly edited photo in Photoshop, and cropped out
the main subject/ the girl, using the magnetic tool, to then put it in
front of a black background. I then used the burn tool to fade the
edges of the girl and the black background, and then I used the burn
tool to enhance on the shadows on her face and create more of an
emotion and make it stand out. I used the dodge tool to even out the
shadows with some lighting.

After I had used the dodge tool to even out the shadows, I
then adjusted it a little bit more, and then I used the burn
tool again, in places where shadows would be formed in
real life, to make it just right. I was really happy with the
outcome of the final picture as it looks realistic and he
shadows and minimal lighting enhances on the mood that is
provoked in the picture, which is scared.

3. Scared: Feedback on Two Versions


The first version was the one that
people preferred when they were
comparing the two. They thought
the editing showed more detail
using shadows and showing which
direction the light comes from. They
said the darker version of the two
(the first version) was better, and
that the lighter version isnt as good
because the girl in the picture looks
more like a ghost because the eyes
stand out and in the darker version
the eyes are almost hidden in the
shadows. The editing in the first
version is also better with the
shadows, because the edges of the
girl fade into the black background,
and the shadows in her face express
her emotions more.

Own Photographs, in style of


photographer: Lee Jeffries (Worried)

This is one of my favourite photographs. I chose this


one because Lee Jeffries version of it really tells the
audience what the girl is thinking, and feels worried
by using her hands to almost hide her face. For my
photography, I wanted to portray the same effect on
my audience by adding a hand or two. I made two
versions of this photograph, and this one appeared
to be the best one. The fact that she is holding her
hand on her face shows a facial expression of regret
and worry. This relates to Lee Jeffries version.
I have also edited the picture in the same style as
Lee Jeffries, with black and white and making the
shadows stand out, and really playing with light and
shadows etc.
In Lee Jeffriess photograph, the girl is not looking
into the camera, which makes her seem more
innocent and vulnerable, whereas in my photograph
the girl is looking straight into the camera making it
seem more intimate with the viewer and making
the audience more involved with her emotions.

Manipulation Process of Worried


Photoshoot (Light, some
Manipulation)

Throughout the manipulation process of this photograph, I started off by opening up the image in Microsoft
Office 2010 and started editing the picture. First off, I started by editing the colour to Black and White, and
then I changed the brightness and contrast. I had to change the brightness and contrast as well as the colour
of the image because I wanted the picture quite dark to match Lee Jeffries photograph.

After I edited the photograph on Microsoft Office 2010, I


opened the image on to Photoshop and made further edits
to the brightness and darkness using the burn and dodge
tool, the burn tool being used to create shadows on the
picture and the dodge tool being used to make an area
brighter using the tool.

Before I used the burn and the dodge tool, however, I cropped out the
image of the girl in the picture, and added a black background to enhance the
darkness in the picture. This also adds to the emotion in the photograph and
how the girl is feeling. I thought it would look better with a black background
rather than a white background.
This is one of my favourite outcomes of all the photographs. I am very happy
with this outcome and wouldnt change anything if I had to do it again.

4. Worried: Feedback on Two Versions


Between these two versions, people
felt they preferred the version with
one hand, which is also slightly
darker. The shadows in the face of
the girl in the first version also
shows more clearly where the light
comes from, whereas in the second
version, its more as if the light is
coming in from all directions and
there arent really any detail using
shadows, apart from where the
fingers lay on her skin on her face.
However, the second version
doesnt give off the same effect as
the first one because its too light
and its not similarly done to Lee
Jeffries style of work, which the first
version is.

Planning Sketches of Inspired


Photographer, Steve McCurry

Own Photographs, in style of Steve


McCurry: Sad/ Crying

This picture is one that might come across as the most


shocking. I chose this picture because it would evoke the
most emotions in the audience as many people may find
it upsetting, disturbing or offensive. I chose to keep my
own photograph in black and white like the other
photographs. This is because it would be harder for me to
create the same atmosphere that Steve McCurry is
creating in colour with the background and the use of the
little boy, so I decided black and white would be the best
way to create more of a meaning without the same
background or atmosphere as Steve McCurry's. I also
decided to have the subject facing to the side so you
would see the photograph in profile because I was using
an older girl, and by using the older looking girl it may not
create as strong emotions if it was from straight ahead at
eye level compared to the little boy. With my
photograph, I had a white background at first but edited
it in Photoshop so that the background would be black
and blend in with the shadows with the black and white
picture.

Manipulation Process of Sad/ Crying


Photoshoot (Manipulation)

During the manipulation process of this photograph, I started off by opening it up in


Microsoft Office 2010 and edited the colour to black and white, and then changed the
contrast and brightness of the image so that it wasnt too dark or too bright. I decided to
keep this photograph in black and white as well as the rest, to match that of the rest and
because I wanted to keep all my own photographs in black and white.

When I had done this and the back ground was white (from
when I adjusted the contrast) I saved it as a JPEG and opened
it up in Photoshop. When I had it up on Photoshop I got a plain
black background and cropped out the image using the
Magnetic Tool and copied it onto the background as another
image and started editing the image using the burn and
dodge tools.

I used the burn tool to fade out the edges of the image onto the
black background and the dodge tool to apply to make some parts
brighter. After I had done this, I kept going back and forth using the
dodge and burn tool, to get the best effects possible, such as on
the hand (in the final picture) you can see I had used the burn tool
to create a shadow effect. Also the edges arent as white and dont
stand out, because I faded it out using the burn tool.

5. Sad/ Crying: Feedback on Two


Versions

Out of these two versions, the first one


was chosen as the favourite (the darker
one). This was because the first one was
edited better with the shadows and
fading, as it faded into the black
background better than the second one,
for example the hair on the first one fades
well into the background so it looks more
natural that she is surrounded by darkness
and is in a dark place, whereas the second
version you can see that it has been edited
onto a black background. Also the
shadows on the hand are well done and
you can see details on the knuckles, etc.
much clearer. However, there is some
white from the white background behind
the hair, as it shows through the hair. This
was better edited in the second version.

Planning Sketches of Inspired


Photographer, Yousuf Karsh

Own Photographs, in style of


photographer: Yousuf Karsh (Happy)

This photograph of Mandela, by Yousuf Karsh, is


one of the most well-known photographs of
Mandela. I used this photograph of Mandela to
portray the mood Happy yet its quite calm and
relaxed. Compared to the other photographs by
Lee Jeffries and Steve McCurry, the photographs
by Yousuf Karsh are also black and white but
more to the softer side rather than a very strong
and bold edit like Lee Jeffries photographs. In
Yousuf Karshs photograph, Mandela is looking
straight into the camera, however, I chose to
have my subject looking to one side of the
camera. I thought this would create more of a
relaxed atmosphere rather than having her
looking straight into the camera. The
photograph of Mandela is more of a
professional photograph whereas the
photograph I took in the style of Yousuf Karsh is
more relaxed/ happy. If I had to do this again, I
think I would keep all my own photographs
edited as bold black and white.

Manipulation Process of Happy


Photoshoot (Manipulation)

During the manipulation process of this photograph, I started off by opening the original
picture in Microsoft Office 2010, and like the others, I changed the colour into black and
white. This picture was inspired by another photographer, Yousuf Karsh, and his pictures
were more of a soften tone so I decided to keep the black and white colour quite light.

After I had changed the colour to black and white, I then


adjusted the contrast of the picture before I opened it up in
Photoshop and edited the brightness and shadows. I kept the
white background to make the softness of the picture stand
out and as the mood was Happy, I thought a brighter
background would suit the mood better, rather than a black
background, which I used for the more darker moods.

I used the burn tool to make one side of her face darker
than the other, to suggest and show that the lighting is
coming from the other side of her face. Then I adjusted the
photograph a little, using the dodge tool, and played
around with the tools. I tried my best to make it in the style
of Yusuf Karsh by keeping a soft tone to the picture.

6. Happy: Feedback on Two Versions


Between these two images, the first
one was favorited from the
questionnaire when people had to
choose one version between the
two that was best. People said that
you can really see what direction
the light is coming from (from the
right of the picture), because of
how the shadows are formed on the
other side of her face (the left side
is darker). Whereas, the second
version looks more as if the light is
coming from straight ahead, and
doesnt have the same effect and
doesnt show the same detail as the
first. People preferred the darker
version (where you can see the
shadows more clearly) because it
was also the best edited.

Own Photographs, in style of


photographer: Yousuf Karsh (Relaxed/
Calm)

This photograph taken by Yousuf Karsh is a very famous


photograph of Albert Einstein and I chose to use this image
and take my own photographs in the same style, because I
thought this picture shows calmness and a relaxed
atmosphere so it would suit my mood very well. It also
suited well that the photograph that Yousuf Karsh took is in
black and white, which fits in well with all of the rest of my
own photographs that I have decided to keep in black and
white rather than in colour. The way I edited the
photographs in the style of Yousuf Karsh, I have done in a
slightly lighter tone of black and white rather than the very
bold and sharp black and white edits and shadows, like I
did for Lee Jeffries photographs. I wanted the subject to
not be looking straight into the camera so this way it would
look like she was more relaxed and almost daydreaming by
looking in another direction. If I had to do this again I
would redo the editing and keep it the same as the other
photographs that are my own, throughout the project
the more bold and sharp black and white editing.

Manipulation Process of Relaxed/


Calm Photoshoot (Manipulation)

During the manipulation process of this photograph, I started off by opening the picture
up in Microsoft Office 2010, like the other photographs, and as I had taken it in colour, I
had to edit the picture into black and white. I decided to make it a quite soft black and
white tone, because the photographer that these photographs were inspired by, uses a
more softer black and white tone. I made it quite bright and in a soft tone.

After I had edited the picture into a soft black and white tone, I
then edited the contrast, like the rest of the photographs, to
make it stand out more for when I edit it in Photoshop. When I
had finished editing the contrast of the picture, I opened it up in
Photoshop. I edited the contrast of the picture, further using the
dodge and burn tool. I made the lighting quite bright first, so
that I could edit the picture using the burn tool.

I decided on which side of the face the lighting would come


from, and then I made the other side darker using the
burn tool, and the side where the light was coming from, I
used the dodge tool to make this side brighter, so that it
was clear that this is where the light was coming from.

7. Relaxed/ Calm: Feedback on Two


Versions
From these two versions, the
second one was the chosen version,
because people felt on the first one,
the hair was too dark compared to
her face. However, the second
version couldve been edited even
better if the lighting looked as
though it came from one direction
and not so the whole image was
greyscale. The contrast couldve also
been better with a little more detail
using the burn tool in Photoshop
to adjust the shadows in her face
and hair, etc. They said the shadows
on the left of her face was good
because it adds a little detail, but it
could've been improved with more
contrast.

Research on where to get photographs


printed
Higgs in Henley http://www.higgsgroup.co.uk/
The Studio Gallery - http://henley-on-thames.cylexuk.co.uk/company/the-studio-gallery-19672632.html
I have researched and looked for places, preferably in, but
also near and around Henley-on-Thames, on where I can
get my final pictures printed. In the end I chose to get them
printed in Henleys Print Centre, Higgs. I chose this place
because it would be more convenient for me to get to as it
is more accessible. I have used this place before, and they
produce good quality pictures and different types of papers
for me to choose from to get it printed on.

Conclusion
Conclusion is simply a summary of your findings about
photography.
As a whole, I have found out a lot about photography,
all from the development of the camera throughout
history such as the first camera to digital cameras in
the present day, the importance of lighting and what
type of lighting is best for different types of objects/
subjects. I also researched black and white
photography and colour photography, and the
difference in lighting for each one, and the contrast
that is created with different types of lighting.

Evaluation

Evaluation is about you not the content of the project. How well have you carried
out your work, what could you have done better, what problems did you face and
how did you solve them?

I think, overall, I have carried out this work quite well, having done all the required
research that I will need for the project, and explored different photographers that
create similar work as the ones that I chose in the end. I chose 3 photographers to
look at, (which I think was an appropriate/ good amount), and then take
photographs in the same style as them. I also decided to keep all of my own
photographs in black and white, to stay in the style of the photographers. How
ever something I think I couldve done better is to have finished some of the work
earlier and tried to stay ahead of the work, instead of slightly behind and having to
rush in the end; this is something I wouldve done differently if I had to do it again.
Some problems I faced were things such as finding photographers that do mainly
portraiture that show moods in the persons face. Finally when I did find some
