Dark and Emotive Portrait Photography
written by Jared ThompsonInspiration comes in various forms, ways and means. Photography is something which captures a moment in time, a snapshot of the world in which we all live in.
Here I am taking portrait and personal photography as a means of inspiration, using the human expression based around dark and emotive portraits as the subject matter.
This showcase of photographs all the pictures are that of a portrait style taken from many different photographers, from across the web.
Each picture links to its original location found online. Are you interested in PMI-001?

April 7, 2010yeah good to see just clean photography sometimes, not always great to see over photoshopped photos.

April 8, 2010Great collection! I completely agree that it is nice to see a grouping of shots with less post-processing.
The tone and color of the second one (purple), blows me away…

April 8, 2010Great Work, Jared. The second image is just sublime :)
There is a small Photoshop shortcut to achieve this type of emotive effect. If you meddle with the Highlights/Shadows a bit followed by passing the image through a High Pass Filter, finally brightening up light areas using a Dodge tool will get exactly similar kind of effects.
Maybe you can experiment with it a bit and create a new tutorial ;) Just a small suggestion
Good work with the collection.
