This is JoAnne she was yesterday evening at my painting class. Normally she paints on a Monday but she had to catch up a lesson. I saw a painting of her daughter at the exhibition our painting school had in 2020 but had never met her. When I took a photo of another painter at my class we got talking and I asked her if it was ok if I took her picture too. Normally I use my Olympus camera for portraits but this was a spur of the moment action and I only brought my mobile phone and painting stuff, so the quality of this photo isn’t optimal.
Delwyn asked me if I would like to photograph a stranger - black and white - and also find out a little bit about them.
@dkbarnett Hi Delwyn, Here is the first portrait because of the noisy background I used a pencil filter to make it somewhat calmer. Sorry for the quality of the photo.
@jacqbb Good on you for rising to the challenge - I certainly hope someone doesn't ask me to do that!!! Sorry 😁. I think this is a great portrait and I do like your edit. I hope you found the challenge rewarding ...
