PORTRAIT (EP19)

This week's challenge is theme-related. Use one of the techniques we have been exploring recently (LOW DOF, LIGHT AND SHADOWS, BLENDING IN, RADICAL EXPOSURE, or even DICHROMATIC if you feel specially bold) to shoot an artistic portrait.
Depending on the technique you want to use, I suggest you choose a model who loves you and is patient with you, as it may take some experimenting until you get the result you envision.
Today's blip was shot in the afternoon around 4PM, when sunlight fell through the trees of our garden into our bedroom, where my wife Carla patiently tried to follow my instructions moving her head into the light and shadows.
