I'm hardly a serious guy in front of others. But when I take pictures of myself, I always look so damn serious. So what better way to show both sides of my personality with the portrait above. Serious, but not. This was taken in the Honolulu Advertiser newsroom. There's at least three elements in this shot that represents me: jokes, comic strips and news.
Aperture: f/3.5
Shutter: 1/25 sec
ISO: 250
Great shot Joe! I think you took got the hang of this challenge with ease.
ReplyDeleteYou're right about the composition and lighting, it is dark and serious but not scary or depressing. More insightful that anything else.
Great exposure and good sharpness.
My only criticism is where are you looking? Should we be looking that way too? Haha, but that's splitting hairs.
Keep it up!
Awesome shot Joe. I actually like that you are looking away from the camera. To me, it looks like you are contemplating something...perhaps about your comics, or the news, or what you just laid out at work. It's nice, I like the lighting as well.
