A Few Sketches..
Attached are two of my early sketches when composition was my main focus.
After collecting practically hundreds of videos stills, constantly pausing the screen to capture the best moment, I found myself desperately trying to find a composition where the interviewee would be looking directly at the viewer.
Due to the nature of my project, I had wanted my portraits to a have a kind of confrontational quality about them.
Ideas:
1. To crop the face where the portrait shows nothing more from the chin upwards.
2. To screenshot sections of the face to reach a higher level of intimacy.
3. For the subject to be looking directly at the viewer – very confrontational.
In some of my drawings the subjects focus is not directly at the viewer but the eyes still have major importance. When I found the eyes particularly expressive I didn’t feel the need for these to be confrontational.
