Illustrative Portraiture

This photographic composite project focuses on illustrative portraiture. In January of 2016 I began to formulate and digitally capture profile portraiture. I was looking to expand the digital creative process in multiple directions while complimenting and presenting the subject. Image component blending allowed me to use the blend modes in Photoshop to creatively re-orchestrate the color hue and saturation of textured background imagery. The essence, and use of light In the Studio is so important to portraiture, in this project my approach was the simplest use of light.
