In this week’s Photo of the Week on the Daily Critique Craig looks at a dramatic impromptu portrait and discusses the following:

 

- understanding the technical limits of your camera and lenses and the effect that has on your shooting technique

 

- carrying your camera with you as much as possible and seeing as many of the circumstances of your life as possible as opportunities to consciously practice being a photographer

 

- under lighting, cinematic lighting, and rim lighting

 

- quality of line

 

- complimentary color and color harmonies

 

- leaving space for high energy subjects to breathe

 

- creating layers of story
