Good Examples

I find that the best photos for painting are taken with soft lighting from one side, for example sitting next to a window or outside on a bright day.

Poor Examples

Photographs that tend not to work well are usually poorly lit, too far away or blurred. I also don’t work from black and white images.

I will often change the background to compliment or contrast with the subject in a loose style.

Please indicate your preferred reference photo to use as the final composition / pose.
