Creative Portraits

Just finished reading a book titled 'Creative Portrait Photography' which is written by Natalie Dybisz a.k.a Miss Aniela, the book covers Natalie's own work as well as the work of Susannah Benjamin, Kirsty Mitchell, Peter Kemp, Alex Stoddard and Brooke Shaden.

The photo above is from Natalie's book and shows the model striking a pose between a mannequin and a statue of Jesus.  Natalie uses different props and lighting in different locations to create a photo with context and story.  In some of the photographs a lot of editing has been done to create effects to complete the photo.

The above photo has been edited and strong colours have been used to create more depth, the clock has also been edited and another pair of hands added to make it look extraordinary.

The model was asked to splash the water in the above photo and the effects of rain were added afterwards to create the effect.
