The Book
Color is effective in portraying different messages which can be positive or negative if used correctly.
The dye cut circle reveals the splash page behind it as it combines color.
Color can be stronger if used subtly or eliminated all together.
Posing, lighting, and makeup are essential when creating a specific mood or feeling. A variety of camera and lighting angles will enhance the portrait.
