Challenge 74: Character Studies

The topic of Challenge 74 is Character Studies. This challenge is all about people photography. Your images should not merely capture a face, but should express some insight into the essential nature of the person or into the life of that person. You might do this with an expression, the environment, occupational props, fantasy props, to suggest just a few possibilities.

Requirements:

1. Your image must contain at least one person or part of a person. You may certainly have multiple people in your image.

2. Eligible Gallery images may NOT be titled. Please number your images as was done in the Celebrate 50 : Untitled Gallery. Exhibition Gallery images MAY be titled or numbered, your choice. Once someone has opened discussion of your image with a comment, you may freely discuss what you would have titled the image. I hope to encourage participants to comment on the character they see expressed in your image.

Any style of photography is welcome, from formal studio portraits to environmental portraits to street photography to fantasy. Think Rembrandt to Picasso. Any amount of post processing is allowed.

Be challenged, have fun,

Michael
