Kendall Art Gallery Critique - Zach Streitmatter

The photograph I chose is one of a woman standing in a dark-lit room with light coming across her from the right side of the frame. She is standing with her fingers to her mouth and is looking at the camera with one eyebrow slightly raised. I really like the mood and the aesthetic of this image and the way that it is light. One of the main strengths of this photo is the dynamic lighting and the way it casts a shadow over one side of her body, evoking a darker moodiness. Another strength of the portrait is how she is just off center in the middle of the frame and the way that the negative space at the top of the image that gives her headroom as well as creating a sense of space and freedom. Overall this is just a very well framed portrait that makes you wonder who the woman is and what she's thinking.
