Outdoor Lighting Portraits 

We have chosen to demonstrate an understanding of line and colour with outdoor lighting portraiture techniques. Our decision to incorporate an apparent use of the gestalt principles of perception has resulted in images that are striking and simplistically pleasing to view. Our main considerations included colour, composition, highlight, shadow and texture.

The intention with colour was to provide a bold palette that could stand individually while also appearing harmonious when viewed as a series. This has been achieved by working with two primary colours (yellow and blue) and their by-product, green.

Narrowly referencing the compositions of german photographer, Thomas Ruff. Our portraits aim to take the standard form of studio portraiture into the outdoor environment to successfully work with the challenges of a mixed lighting scenario.
