Tall... A Holga Portrait...

[mtbbrian]

Here is another from my newest stuff.
This is a co-worker of mine who stand at 6'10" and I wanted show that in this portrait..
Did I do it well or not? is there too much in one frame and not enough in the other?
Thanks!

Brian, I believe this would have worked if you'd had him stand next to someone or something. The sense of proportion would have been more obvious.

I am kind of thinking the same thing..
I have a few other ideas in mind to do this portrait..
Watch for them soon!
Thanks for commenting John.

The suggestion regarding scale I believe is very accurate. Another person or something to give the viewer some reference. Also after looking at this for a moment, how about also using the shadows (like in your avatar) to highlight his height? Alliteration was unavoidable.

I like the creativity of the concept. In the bottom pic, he looks tall. In the top pic, he doesn't seem tall at all, the way it is cropped.
