Today, a friend of mine and I went out to a old parking house. Our purpose was to take some artistic pictures with various techniques for school.
I did a "skateboarding-lifestyle" of him, and he just did some random shit. I applied some fancy theatrical blood to his arms and shit ^^
We are not exactly skilled, but remeber that these pictures are not edited.


skateboarding is a big part of my life, so I thought I'd shoot a picture related to this.
I placed the lighting on the left side, so that half his face would be dark/in shadows.
Theatrical blood on his forearms, since this happens very often when you skateboard.
In a way I think this picture shows that skateboarding takes up"half his being", leaving out the wounds and shit.
Guess I sound very "poetic" and absurd




Ligting in this pic is great imo!





I can also add a few older pictures:

the third one looks great. with some water in the background and you got frozen in the air ^^

hmm why is the half of his head cut off? I think it would look better if the whole body shows, from head to feet but again I am no expert at portrait photography

Thanks, I like that picture too ^^

That's a phicture of me. It's not a standard portrait, and we were trying to just do some random artistic stuff, based on expressions and such (I don't mean expressionin th eface, hehe).

I can upload a edited version of the first pic later. It looks alot better imo.
