Retro Futurist Slatted-Light Portrait
Portrait of lit by hard slatted light through blinds, bright stripes raking across the face while everything around them crushes into pure black silhouette, set flat against a solid electric blue field like a retro-futurist sci-fi poster. Posterised colour, brutal contrast, saturated to the edge of breaking, edges torn into rough printed speckle. Palette: electric blue #1f5fd0, scorched red #d2341c, hot amber #f2a03c, bone highlight #fff4e0, deep black #000000. Shot on 35mm with heavy grain, halation on the brightest stripes, slight print misregistration. Brooding, graphic, late-night and cinematic. Works for two subjects too. Avoid soft daylight, pastel tones, busy backgrounds.
