Portrait description

When I first started taking these portraits i wanted to try to capture peoples hidden emotion, i made my models stand infront of the camara with the least ammount of emotion possible. This created a series of very akward portraits that showed a diffrent aspect of peoples emotions. I also started experimenting with the backrounds, first i started shooting against a brick wall and then moved on to lockers. Although, my favorite backround is a plane white backround. I like the simpleness of the backround and think its helps bringout the person features and emotion.
