September Self Portrait Challenge - Contrast

Contrast1 sp by marisol diaz


I think this is such a great prompt! CONTRAST, for me it allowed for the exploration of texture and focal point. I for one like to play with the focal point NOT being in focus and admire that capability in many photographer's work. It It is a technique that is definitely not easy to conceive of! In this pic the hair is so extremely in focus - yet I hoped the eye was still the focal point. In addition, I don't think I ever paid too much attention to the texture of my hair before- it has a mind of its own!! It was also fun to play with the black & white contrast.
