Nyomi's Proposal

Nyomi’s Proposal

I want to photograph people, who I do not necessarily know in dramatic lighting. I want to highlight bone structures with deep shadows and pull out facial details like freckles, dimples and wrinkles. I like photographing people and manipulating images to make them more dramatic, so they emit a different persona than seeing the real person does. I plan to photograph these people against solid or un-busy backgrounds, probably outside so I have enough light, or near a window. I want the focus to be the person’s face and texture of their skin and hair, and have a sort of hollow emotional quality. I want expressionless faces and empty eyes in most likely black and white.
