Photo Composition for Artistic Portraits
“The time has come to develop and present your own final project. The challenge is that you make a photographic composition with more than one character in the work and the additional resources that you feel necessary to tell your story. You can be a fictional character, mythology, carrying your own head, that of your best friend or any idea you want with all the work you learned about editing in this course.

Next, I am going to review the different phases to follow to develop the final project: Planning At this stage, plan what you are going to do in your project and look for references to inspire you and to serve as a guide. I have been inspired by the look and hairstyle of the red queen from Alice in Wonderland and by compositions and portrait aesthetics from the Victorian era. I have also looked for references for the textures that I was going to use and I have made a list of the shots that I want to take during the photo session.
