We are having some debate as to what type of photograph this is. What is the feel, mood, style. what category would it fall under in your eyes. Fashion,journalism, stock photography or any other. Should it be listed with portraits and if so what types? senior, candid, style or other? Any view, comment or ideas as to what this picture stricks you as and why whould be of help. Thank you
I guess I'll be the first to take a shot at this. I think its certainly a portrait but a stylistic one. I couldn't call it a candid because it has a feel of preparedness to it. I think style strikes me as the correct category due to her dress and the way her hair flows out from under her cap, telling me that there is an element of appearance that either the photographer or the subject is trying to convey.
Its a wonderful portrait that conveys both a mood of ease and the subject's beauty quite nicely. I like the line of the cap particularly as it serves as a point of emphasis for the subject's really striking eyes. The light seems a bit sharp but I think it fits well into this shot. Good work.
