Our portrait photos are different than regular I.D. photos because I.D. photos have overbearing lighting and don't grandiose the subject you're shooting. These portrait photos' purpose to is display an artistic point of view of the person. We can achieve this through different lighting scenarios from different angles, reflecting and directing light at different intensities and etc to get something more original than an I.D. photograph. I feel like the lighting of Liz in the first photograph displays an optimistic mood because not only is she looking up and smiling, but the light is shining from where she is looking. If I could've done this differently, I would've rather added more light to the left side of her face.
