working in another post.<\/p>\n<p>Just know that portraiture is out of my comfort zone when it comes to photography.\u00a0 I guess it&#8217;s just because I&#8217;ve never really tried all that hard with it.\u00a0 Well, it would fit that our morning professor has given us Portraiture as our in-depth study topic regarding photography this semester.\u00a0 The first project, which is due for me in about 3.5 hours, was to be a study of the human form.<\/p>\n<p>This study is a self-portraiture series using a flashlight to shine a hard light on my body to highlight specific areas.\u00a0 The images chosen focus on my head and facial area.\u00a0 To be perfectly honest, I&#8217;m a little emotional over seeing how these played out and I&#8217;m actually evaluating why that is in my mind.<\/p>\n<p>But enough of that, here is my first project.\u00a0 Please leave feedback when you can.<\/p>\n<p><a
