Sometimes the other images include a locale -- a room, a building, a field, or a landscape. They might be something he or she uses in work, school, a sport, or a hobby. They may be people that matter in his or her life -- family, friends, or colleagues.<br><br>The blending and selective masking of entire layers for some artistic work is relatively straightforward, though demanding of imagination. The treatment, scaling, placement, and blending of the elements of a <em>montage</em>, or composite, on the other hand, can be quite complex. See the samples below.

She agreed. I was looking for portraits that would be different, using the spotlight\'s various light modifiers to change how the light would fall, especially across the face. I also thought that I would render some of the images in black and white (and in some instances, <em>toned</em>). In a previous session with Sheldon P., I had great success with many images, using the same tools.

This abstraction makes it stronger. Selective focus, in which part of the image is sharp, and the others slightly out-of-focus, does the same thing. Post-processing (how the digital image is adjusted after the shot) amplifies the abstraction. The more expressive the look, the more abstraction heightens its appeal, in my opinion.

She agreed. I was looking for portraits that would be different, using the spotlight\'s various light modifiers to change how the light would fall, especially across the face. I also thought that I would render some of the images in black and white (and in some instances, toned). I shot Sheldon in a previous session, and the images were a success, overall.

She agreed. I was looking for portraits that would be different, using the spotlight\'s various light modifiers to change how the light would fall, especially across the face. I also thought that I would render some of the images in black and white (and in some instances, toned). I shot Sheldon in a previous session, and the images were a success, overall.

She agreed. I was looking for portraits that would be different, using the spotlight\'s various light modifiers to change how the light would fall, especially across the face. I also thought that I would render some of the images in black and white (and in some instances, toned). I shot Sheldon in a previous session, and the images were a success, overall.

I liked Deb\'s direct gaze, the strength and intelligence it conveys.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:gutenify/grid {\"blockClientId\":\"3f807e90-f9b0-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\",\"gutenifyStyles\":\".gutenify-section-3f807e90-f9b0-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a { \\u002d\\u002dgutenify\\u002d\\u002dgrid-template-columns: 3;\\u002d\\u002dgutenify\\u002d\\u002dgrid-template-rowgap: 40px;\\u002d\\u002dgutenify\\u002d\\u002dgrid-template-columngap: 40px; }\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenify-grid gutenify-grid-version-2 gutenify-section-3f807e90-f9b0-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"><!-- wp:gutenify/grid-item {\"blockClientId\":\"3fabd450-f9b0-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenify-grid-item gutenify-grid-item-version-2 gutenify-section-3fabd450-f9b0-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"><!-- wp:image {\"id\":9827,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\",\"blockClientId\":\"438e65b0-f9b0-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large gutenify-section-438e65b0-f9b0-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"><img src=\"https://christopherhumphreyphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/L8A9976-Edit-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Black &amp; white, optical spotlight, headshot\" class=\"wp-image-9827\"/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Black &amp; white, Deb in a serious mood</figcaption></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image --></div>\n<!-- /wp:gutenify/grid-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:gutenify/grid-item {\"blockClientId\":\"3fad33e0-f9b0-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenify-grid-item gutenify-grid-item-version-2 gutenify-section-3fad33e0-f9b0-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"><!-- wp:image {\"id\":9825,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\",\"blockClientId\":\"88151f30-f9b0-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large gutenify-section-88151f30-f9b0-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"><img src=\"https://christopherhumphreyphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/L8A9955-Edit-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Portrait with band of light\" class=\"wp-image-9825\"/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Light in the eyes</figcaption></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image --></div>\n<!-- /wp:gutenify/grid-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:gutenify/grid-item {\"blockClientId\":\"3fae6c60-f9b0-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenify-grid-item gutenify-grid-item-version-2 gutenify-section-3fae6c60-f9b0-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"><!-- wp:image {\"id\":9815,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\",\"blockClientId\":\"fcea2df0-f9b0-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large gutenify-section-fcea2df0-f9b0-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"><img src=\"https://christopherhumphreyphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/L8A0083-Edit-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Optical spotlight with curved shape for modifier\" class=\"wp-image-9815\"/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A curved light</figcaption></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image --></div>\n<!-- /wp:gutenify/grid-item --></div>\n<!-- /wp:gutenify/grid -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"blockClientId\":\"2bc776f0-f9c5-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"} -->\n<p class=\"gutenify-section-2bc776f0-f9c5-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\">Sometimes portraits have a directness that is arresting, especially when the subject is looking right into the camera.

She agreed. I was looking for portraits that would be different, using the spotlight\'s various light modifiers to change how the light would fall, especially across the face. I also thought that I would render some of the images in black and white (and in some instances, toned). I shot Sheldon in a previous session, and the images were a success, overall. (I always have lots of \"also-rans\" that are OK, but nothing remarkable: successes are those that stand out.)</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:gutenify/grid {\"blockClientId\":\"c77a02d0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\",\"gutenifyStyles\":\".gutenify-section-c77a02d0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37 { \\u002d\\u002dgutenify\\u002d\\u002dgrid-template-columns: 3;\\u002d\\u002dgutenify\\u002d\\u002dgrid-template-rowgap: 40px;\\u002d\\u002dgutenify\\u002d\\u002dgrid-template-columngap: 40px; }\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenify-grid gutenify-grid-version-2 gutenify-section-c77a02d0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"><!-- wp:gutenify/grid-item {\"blockClientId\":\"c7b07c20-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenify-grid-item gutenify-grid-item-version-2 gutenify-section-c7b07c20-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"><!-- wp:image {\"lightbox\":{\"enabled\":true},\"id\":9831,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\",\"blockClientId\":\"cae911e0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large gutenify-section-cae911e0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37 has-lightbox\"><img src=\"https://christopherhumphreyphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/L8A9979-839x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Deb in the optical spotlight, color\" class=\"wp-image-9831\"/></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image --></div>\n<!-- /wp:gutenify/grid-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:gutenify/grid-item {\"blockClientId\":\"c7b16680-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenify-grid-item gutenify-grid-item-version-2 gutenify-section-c7b16680-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"><!-- wp:image {\"id\":9828,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\",\"blockClientId\":\"8a8bc150-f9ac-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large gutenify-section-8a8bc150-f9ac-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"><img src=\"https://christopherhumphreyphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/L8A9977-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Deb in the optical spotlight, arm up\" class=\"wp-image-9828\"/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Deb in the optical spotlight, bright</figcaption></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image --></div>\n<!-- /wp:gutenify/grid-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:gutenify/grid-item {\"blockClientId\":\"c7b202c0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenify-grid-item gutenify-grid-item-version-2 gutenify-section-c7b202c0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"><!-- wp:image {\"id\":9830,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\",\"blockClientId\":\"c3a69730-f9ac-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large gutenify-section-c3a69730-f9ac-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"><img src=\"https://christopherhumphreyphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/L8A9978-2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Deb, headshot, optical spotlight\" class=\"wp-image-9830\"/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Headshot of Deb</figcaption></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image --></div>\n<!-- /wp:gutenify/grid-item --></div>\n<!-- /wp:gutenify/grid -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"blockClientId\":\"1c88f460-f9ad-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"} -->\n<p class=\"gutenify-section-1c88f460-f9ad-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\">As people mature, generally, they become more sure of themselves, more relaxed, and more individual or unique.

She agreed. I was looking for portraits that would be different, using the spotlight\'s various light modifiers to change how the light would fall, especially across the face. I also thought that I would render some of the images in black and white (and in some instances, toned). I shot Sheldon in a previous session, and the images were a success, overall. (I always have lots of \"also-rans\" that are OK, but nothing remarkable: successes are those that stand out.)</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:gutenify/grid {\"blockClientId\":\"c77a02d0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\",\"gutenifyStyles\":\".gutenify-section-c77a02d0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37 { \\u002d\\u002dgutenify\\u002d\\u002dgrid-template-columns: 3;\\u002d\\u002dgutenify\\u002d\\u002dgrid-template-rowgap: 40px;\\u002d\\u002dgutenify\\u002d\\u002dgrid-template-columngap: 40px; }\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenify-grid gutenify-grid-version-2 gutenify-section-c77a02d0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"><!-- wp:gutenify/grid-item {\"blockClientId\":\"c7b07c20-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenify-grid-item gutenify-grid-item-version-2 gutenify-section-c7b07c20-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"><!-- wp:image {\"lightbox\":{\"enabled\":true},\"id\":9831,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\",\"blockClientId\":\"cae911e0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large gutenify-section-cae911e0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37 has-lightbox\"><img src=\"https://christopherhumphreyphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/L8A9979-839x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Deb in the optical spotlight, color\" class=\"wp-image-9831\"/></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image --></div>\n<!-- /wp:gutenify/grid-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:gutenify/grid-item {\"blockClientId\":\"c7b16680-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenify-grid-item gutenify-grid-item-version-2 gutenify-section-c7b16680-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"><!-- wp:image {\"lightbox\":{\"enabled\":true},\"id\":9828,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\",\"blockClientId\":\"8a8bc150-f9ac-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large gutenify-section-8a8bc150-f9ac-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a has-lightbox\"><img src=\"https://christopherhumphreyphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/L8A9977-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Deb in the optical spotlight, arm up\" class=\"wp-image-9828\"/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Deb in the optical spotlight, bright</figcaption></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image --></div>\n<!-- /wp:gutenify/grid-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:gutenify/grid-item {\"blockClientId\":\"c7b202c0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenify-grid-item gutenify-grid-item-version-2 gutenify-section-c7b202c0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"><!-- wp:image {\"lightbox\":{\"enabled\":true},\"id\":9830,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\",\"blockClientId\":\"c3a69730-f9ac-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large gutenify-section-c3a69730-f9ac-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a has-lightbox\"><img src=\"https://christopherhumphreyphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/L8A9978-2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Deb, headshot, optical spotlight\" class=\"wp-image-9830\"/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Headshot of Deb</figcaption></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image --></div>\n<!-- /wp:gutenify/grid-item --></div>\n<!-- /wp:gutenify/grid -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"blockClientId\":\"1c88f460-f9ad-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"} -->\n<p class=\"gutenify-section-1c88f460-f9ad-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\">As people mature, generally, they become more sure of themselves, more relaxed, and more individual or unique.

I also thought that I would render some of the images in black and white (and in some instances, <em>toned</em>). I shot Sheldon in a previous session, and the images were a success, overall.

She agreed. I was looking for portraits that would be different, using the spotlight\'s various light modifiers to change how the light would fall, especially across the face. I also thought that I would render some of the images in black and white (and in some instances, <em>toned</em>). I shot Sheldon in a previous session, and the images were a success, overall. (I always have lots of \"also-rans\" that are OK, but nothing remarkable: successes are those that stand out.)</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:gutenify/grid {\"blockClientId\":\"c77a02d0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\",\"gutenifyStyles\":\".gutenify-section-c77a02d0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37 { \\u002d\\u002dgutenify\\u002d\\u002dgrid-template-columns: 3;\\u002d\\u002dgutenify\\u002d\\u002dgrid-template-rowgap: 40px;\\u002d\\u002dgutenify\\u002d\\u002dgrid-template-columngap: 40px; }\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenify-grid gutenify-grid-version-2 gutenify-section-c77a02d0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"><!-- wp:gutenify/grid-item {\"blockClientId\":\"c7b07c20-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenify-grid-item gutenify-grid-item-version-2 gutenify-section-c7b07c20-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"><!-- wp:image {\"lightbox\":{\"enabled\":true},\"id\":9831,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\",\"blockClientId\":\"cae911e0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large gutenify-section-cae911e0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37 has-lightbox\"><img src=\"https://christopherhumphreyphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/L8A9979-839x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Deb in the optical spotlight, color\" class=\"wp-image-9831\"/></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image --></div>\n<!-- /wp:gutenify/grid-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:gutenify/grid-item {\"blockClientId\":\"c7b16680-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenify-grid-item gutenify-grid-item-version-2 gutenify-section-c7b16680-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"><!-- wp:image {\"lightbox\":{\"enabled\":true},\"id\":9828,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\",\"blockClientId\":\"8a8bc150-f9ac-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large gutenify-section-8a8bc150-f9ac-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a has-lightbox\"><img src=\"https://christopherhumphreyphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/L8A9977-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Deb in the optical spotlight, arm up\" class=\"wp-image-9828\"/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Deb in the optical spotlight, bright</figcaption></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image --></div>\n<!-- /wp:gutenify/grid-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:gutenify/grid-item {\"blockClientId\":\"c7b202c0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenify-grid-item gutenify-grid-item-version-2 gutenify-section-c7b202c0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"><!-- wp:image {\"lightbox\":{\"enabled\":true},\"id\":9830,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\",\"blockClientId\":\"c3a69730-f9ac-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large gutenify-section-c3a69730-f9ac-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a has-lightbox\"><img src=\"https://christopherhumphreyphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/L8A9978-2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Deb, headshot, optical spotlight\" class=\"wp-image-9830\"/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Headshot of Deb</figcaption></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image --></div>\n<!-- /wp:gutenify/grid-item --></div>\n<!-- /wp:gutenify/grid -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"blockClientId\":\"1c88f460-f9ad-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"} -->\n<p class=\"gutenify-section-1c88f460-f9ad-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\">As people mature, generally, they become more sure of themselves, more relaxed, and more individual or unique.

She agreed. I was looking for portraits that would be different, using the spotlight\'s various light modifiers to change how the light would fall, especially across the face. I also thought that I would render some of the images in black and white (and in some instances, <em>toned</em>). I shot Sheldon in a previous session, and the images were a success, overall.

Post-processing (how the digital image is adjusted after the shot) amplifies the abstraction. The more expressive the look, the more abstraction heightens its appeal, in my opinion.

She agreed. I was looking for portraits that would be different, using the spotlight\'s various light modifiers to change how the light would fall, especially across the face. I also thought that I would render some of the images in black and white (and in some instances, <em>toned</em>). I shot Sheldon in a previous session, and the images were a success, overall. (I always have lots of \"also-rans\" that are OK, but nothing remarkable: successes are those that stand out.)</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:gutenify/grid {\"blockClientId\":\"c77a02d0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\",\"gutenifyStyles\":\".gutenify-section-c77a02d0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37 { \\u002d\\u002dgutenify\\u002d\\u002dgrid-template-columns: 3;\\u002d\\u002dgutenify\\u002d\\u002dgrid-template-rowgap: 40px;\\u002d\\u002dgutenify\\u002d\\u002dgrid-template-columngap: 40px; }\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenify-grid gutenify-grid-version-2 gutenify-section-c77a02d0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"><!-- wp:gutenify/grid-item {\"blockClientId\":\"c7b07c20-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenify-grid-item gutenify-grid-item-version-2 gutenify-section-c7b07c20-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"><!-- wp:image {\"lightbox\":{\"enabled\":true},\"id\":9831,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\",\"blockClientId\":\"cae911e0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large gutenify-section-cae911e0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37 has-lightbox\"><img src=\"https://christopherhumphreyphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/L8A9979-839x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Deb in the optical spotlight, color\" class=\"wp-image-9831\"/></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image --></div>\n<!-- /wp:gutenify/grid-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:gutenify/grid-item {\"blockClientId\":\"c7b16680-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenify-grid-item gutenify-grid-item-version-2 gutenify-section-c7b16680-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"><!-- wp:image {\"lightbox\":{\"enabled\":true},\"id\":9828,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\",\"blockClientId\":\"8a8bc150-f9ac-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large gutenify-section-8a8bc150-f9ac-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a has-lightbox\"><img src=\"https://christopherhumphreyphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/L8A9977-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Deb in the optical spotlight, arm up\" class=\"wp-image-9828\"/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Deb in the optical spotlight, bright</figcaption></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image --></div>\n<!-- /wp:gutenify/grid-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:gutenify/grid-item {\"blockClientId\":\"c7b202c0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenify-grid-item gutenify-grid-item-version-2 gutenify-section-c7b202c0-f9ab-11ee-873e-bd49cd372e37\"><!-- wp:image {\"lightbox\":{\"enabled\":true},\"id\":9830,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\",\"blockClientId\":\"c3a69730-f9ac-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large gutenify-section-c3a69730-f9ac-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a has-lightbox\"><img src=\"https://christopherhumphreyphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/L8A9978-2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Deb, headshot, optical spotlight\" class=\"wp-image-9830\"/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Headshot of Deb</figcaption></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image --></div>\n<!-- /wp:gutenify/grid-item --></div>\n<!-- /wp:gutenify/grid -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"blockClientId\":\"1c88f460-f9ad-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\"} -->\n<p class=\"gutenify-section-1c88f460-f9ad-11ee-a492-dbc0f055468a\">As people mature, generally, they become more sure of themselves, more relaxed, and more individual or unique.

This abstraction makes it stronger. Selective focus, in which part of the image is sharp, and the others slightly out-of-focus, does the same thing. Post-processing (how the digital image is adjusted after the shot) amplifies the abstraction. The more expressive the look, the more abstraction heightens its appeal, in my opinion.

I really enjoy the capturing of the images, and also working on them afterwards. Choosing which to show, or how many to show, is always a challenge. These were so much fun to capture and to process. I look forward to doing it again. Here\'s a parting image, one that reminds me of a high-contrast image of Andy Warhol from years ago.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"align\":\"center\",\"lightbox\":{\"enabled\":true},\"id\":9832,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\",\"blockClientId\":\"b93eef40-f9cf-11ee-bd5a-3590bd1e52ee\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large gutenify-section-b93eef40-f9cf-11ee-bd5a-3590bd1e52ee has-lightbox\"><img src=\"https://christopherhumphreyphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/L8A9980-Edit-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9832\"/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">High-contrast black and white portrait</figcaption></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"blockClientId\":\"f6734c60-f9cc-11ee-a1b6-ad7fe6fefeb0\"} -->\n<p class=\"gutenify-section-f6734c60-f9cc-11ee-a1b6-ad7fe6fefeb0\">If you are looking for portraiture like this, I\'d be happy to do it for you. However, if you are looking for more conventional portraits (like well-lit, sharp headshots for LinkedIn), I can provide that, too. In fact, I\'ll be happy to do the conventional style that you see elsewhere, and throw in some unconventional, unique, \"artsy\" things as well, no charge! Call me, or text me!</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->', 'Deb in the optical spotlight', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '9804-revision-v1', '', '', '2024-04-13 19:56:52', '2024-04-13 19:56:52', '', 9804, 'https://christopherhumphreyphotography.com/?p=9852', 0, 'revision', '', 0);
