Commercial Portrait of Lily Chee Fine Art Portrait of Lily Chee While it is hard to find an expressive fine art portrait of Lily Chee, the differences between this free lance photo shoot and the one for Nike are significant. Nike, the commercial photoshoot, is quite obviously for nike, as we can see from the clothing. It also has a clean studio-ish background so it doesn't distract from the clothes. In the fine art portrait, Chee is seen wearing her own clothes which show off her personality. The setting is in New York, her home, so not only do we see her personality, but we see more of her heritage and her, rather than a brand. 

A commercial portrait is when portraits with planned settings, clothes, and lighten are used. They usually feature clothes or jewelry that are featured on the front of a magazine cover to sell something. Mostly famous or well-known people are used because people like to read about people they know of. All elements of the photos usually match those of the magazine style.    Lilia Buckingham by Heather Koepp for Saturne Magazine I really like this image and the rest of the photos from the shoot because they use very authentic clothes and props and they all have a continuing theme. Jennifer Lawrence by Annie Leibovitz for Vogue I really like this photo because it has a nice setting (possibly from a green screen), but nevertheless, it shows off lots of personality and a rich, professional vibe. 

Fine Art Portraits are photographs of people that are trying to tell a story. They materialize lighting, color or contrast to convey moods, feelings and emotions. They can be used to tell a story about a place, about the person(s) being photographed, or a story from where the photographer is. Photos by Oleg Oprisco This photo is a portrait of a woman who almost blends in with the colorful background and the bird cages around her. With her neutral face, we can assume that she either feels trapped (symbolized by the bird cages) or she blends in too much that she is lonely. This portrait is also by Oprisco. Between the contrast of the colors, the vastness of the water, and the contrast in size, this fine art photograph gives off an isolation/alone vibe.  Photos by David Talley This portrait by Talley give off a feeling on longing, as she seems upset and is holding a parachute. She just wants to fly. After learning the back story (she was in the Air Force...

Surrealism Image #1 I edited this by cutting the sign of a sign, editing the color on it, and using free transform so I could place the sign on the ground. It is surreal because it is a sign, implanted in the ground.  Surrealism Image #2 I edited this by first cutting out a car from a different photo, and using free transform to edit and angle it in the sky. Then, Naomi, Grace and I sat in front of a green screen, took a photo, and I cut us out of that, placed us on top of the car, and added drop shadow and a glow. This photo is surreal because the car is flying, we are on it, and are glowing too.
