Enviornmental portrait

This is a photo of a gaurd named Charlie and he is a guard at the tower of london. When I took this photo it was from a far away distance and I wanted to make sure I could get the blue door into the photo. When editing this photo I darkened the pole off to the right and enhance the grey coloring throughout the picture. I also added brightness and contrast and I overall like this photo a lot.

I took this photo by shining the light at the back of my model phabio's head and had him make a smile and look at the camera. I put the tripod up so that it would be in line with his face and then I took the photo with a slight amount of zoom. When editing it I enhanced the contrast  and decreased the shimmer of the buttons to decrease the reflection. I overall approve of this photo because of the flaming ears and overall home it turned out.
