The architecture students who enrolled in the DBOX taught visual representation class have produced portraits as the first assignment. The brief was to take inspiration from studio portrait photography or painting techniques, and to emulate the way the light hits the face in those formats. The intention was to help us to better understand the role of light and shadow on form, and how it can be used to highlight or recess features – a skill that also applies to architectural photography and visualization. In preparation, each student had several photographs taken of themselves with different lighting conditions at the DBOX studio. Using those pictures we were able to create striking portraits of ourselves while also learning valuable skills to be used down the road.
The vogue slide was a nice touch 🙂
