Crown Her with Many Lights
The purpose of this assignment was to experiment with photographing portraits. I chose to photograph women wrapped in Christmas lights. I was inspired by the idea of powerful and iconic women, such as Aphrodite, Athena, the Virgin Mary, etc. I posed them in such a way so they looked like they were independent, strong willed, a powerful. I also wanted to capture the natural beauty of each of them. I chose to photograph them with a black backdrop in order to keep each woman the focus of the photo. I also wanted the black black backdrop to contrast with the bright Christmas lights.
