blurred portraiture.

For this set of images I experimented with a range of pop socks over the lens of the camera to see how it effected the end result, I found the best one and these were the finished images.  I liked the blur but the images were coming out too plain so I used red lipstick so the image had something to break up the plainness. I used Photoshop to make the colours more crisp. I chose to do this as I wanted to do a different take on portraiture. In my opinion emotion and feeling are the main focus in portraiture and with the face being blurred, the image is stripped back, the focus isn't on the facial features, but on the emotion being portrayed.
