The Face of Knowledge

The Face of Knowledge

For my final project, I created a portrait photoshoot of a teacher to practice and demonstrate my skills in directing, lighting, and composition

For this shoot, I used my Nikon D750 DSLR camera, a 50mm lens , and natural window light combined with a reflector for soft lighting. I also used Adobe Lightroom for color correction and basic retouching. To guide the posing, I applied techniques learned in my model directing classes and mood boards for inspiration.

This portrait captures a teacher in a calm, thoughtful moment—symbolizing wisdom, patience, and dedication. My goal was to highlight not just the person, but the quiet strength and presence they bring into the learning space. I focused on soft lighting, natural expression, and simple composition to keep the attention on their character.
