Just outside the Banhof at Warschauer Straße in Berlin. He just waited for someone.
Waiting.
Month: March 2015
A beer and a smile.
Walked about this last Saturday, had a stop at “7:ans ölhall” (a classic pub i Gothenburg). It’s always nice to meet friendly, open people. He (sorry, didn’t ask for your name) was from Jonkoping, just celebrating a friend’s 60th over the weekend. And he didn’t mind me taking his portrait.
Looking straight at you.
No. It’s not a new trick. But an old principle of composition and visual design. Put the dominating eye centered on the vertical linje. The depicted person will now always look straight at you, no matter from where you look at the picture…
The dominating eye? The one that is in the brightest area, closest to you or just the most obvious one.
Eyes that dominate.
A show of visual language. These three portraits are all adjusted so that no matter what angle you watch them from, the person in the pic will look straight at you. Do you know how it’s done?
It’s all in aligning the dominating eye…
