Deconstruct and RE-CREATE A Portrait Assignment part 1

 

Here is the photo that I took to recreate the image taken by Michael Silver taking my own creative spin on it. What I did differently than Michael Silver is that instead of doing the black and white I chose the colour red. What I also did different is include more detail of what the model is wearing and decided not to show the models eyes which is to do with why I chose the colour red as the main colour. The reason why is because red is a colour that can be seen either as representing love or anger. In the original photo the eyes are what portrayed the anger and because there is no way of seeing the eyes of the model so you can tell by looking at the model without seeing his eyes what emotion he is currently feeling. I did the red colour by attaching a red sheet to the light on the side which allowed me to keep the Rembrandt effect that was in the original photo. The jacket used is similar, black but to add more the jacket itself is covered in patches to give more to look at.
