Black & White Portraits
Heather's happiness
By using Photoshop to convert colour images to black and white, I was able to dramatically increase contrast and create a field blur in the background to centre the focal point.
I wanted to convey the emotions which I see in Heather all the time, which is joy.
Having a really joyful smile and happy face, she was the perfect person to capture with black and white photography.

I believe this image is the most effective in capturing Heather's happy and lively personality.
I love the contrast of black and white palette, along with the blurred background which focuses on Heather's face, and makes a very effective photograph.
Her expression was perfect for capturing her personality, she was giggling and didn't quite realise I was taking her photo until just after which made it much more realistic.
