The subject in my portrait is Emily Ulrich. I positioned the lights to the left of Emily. The light is hitting the back of Emily and her face is dark. I positioned Emily to face sideways to only show the light on her back. Emily is facing to the right with a dreamy mysterious look on her face. Her mouth is open a little and she looks like she is zoning. I took the photo from the front of Emily while she was sitting sideways. The angle was looking down on Emily. The distance is close enough to catch the lighting changes and the shiny jacket. My portraits communicate mystery with the lighting and facial expressions.
