After speaking with my tutor, we discussed whether I should completely darken the surrounding area around the model. This experiment worked well because it isolated the focal point even more and added to the intimacy of the images.
I experimented with the series already taken and I believe they worked quite well for the house and studio shoot, but not as well with the Sam shoot. I believe the viewer won’t get the same emotion as you do from the other two when looking at those experiments.
