Portrait nominee

This is a personal project to emphasise the beauty of natural look without applying any makeups. To exploit Ana's natural beauty, I use a combination of Rembrandt and loop lighting, with a classic posture to express a sense of elegance and intimacy.

Suxing Zhang is a Chinese fine-art photographer currently living in Australia. His works focus on fine-art and conceptual portraits which can be described as impressionistic realism. He sees photographs as impressions that involve not only sheer beauty but also a wide range of emotions, and facial expressions and postures as the best mediums to deal with complex concepts. His photographs often involve visual metaphors and metonymies to tell stories and express emotions. Experience with painting as well as charcoal sketching has attributed greatly in his use of lighting, composition, colour, texture, and translates to the overall harmony of his visual layouts.
