On The Other Side

This is an illustration I did based on the lyric 'on the other side, I know you're waiting for me, on the other side' from the song On The Other Side by The Strokes. I did this illustration because I was listening to the song at the time and had a sketchbook and a fine liner infront of me. I used fine liner and I sketched the circle then drew the detail into it to make it look like the world then added a figure to each side. I think it is simple but represents the lyrics well.

Portrait Photography

 I took some portrait shots where I wanted the figure's interests to come across and as she is a dancer I thought the best way of showing her interests was by getting her to do different dance moves. I took the photographs in the studio using a prime lense which was 85mm so I had to move the camera quite far back from the figure. I wanted to freeze the best moment of each pose or movement and I think I have managed to do this on these three shots. I think the lighting also works well by highlighting parts of the figure but still having the background and parts of the figure dark, and I think it works well with the top half being well lit especially on the top photograph where the figure is looking towards the light.
