Joseph is the newest foreigner to come and study at The Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. He had not even been here for more then 9 days before I called him into the studio to sit in front of my lens. He is a 23 year old from Ghana studying oil painting here and really loves to play football (soccer). And despite being a little shy around the people here and not speaking any Chinese at all he still goes to the school’s football field to kick around the ball with the other students.
This photo was taken as part of a class assignment from my portrait photography class. Kind of going away from my norm I decided to take photos of foreigners here at the school for this assignment and try out different studio techniques. Think character shots... Ps. this was the first time I had ever taken a photo of a black person. I learned that taking photos of Asians and white people are not so hard when it comes to metering and what not, but for black people it can be quite difficult to not shoot them so they look kind of….creamy… Canon 20D, Canon 50mm f/1.4 Lens, 2 studio flashes with diffusers. |

 reports, 1d 12h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
