Who says you have to have a face in a portrait?!
Pish posh and nonsense.
Headless portraits can lend incredible interest to the frame.
It creates a sense of curiosity.
And while that may have killed the cat, us humans seem to thrive on it.
Some of my favorite shots of our kids are headless:
I rest my case.
What a wonderful series!! I agree. Some of my favourite portrait shots are "headless".
ReplyDeleteThe GREAT thing about this one is that you can cheat and do it with a crop! So great for those eyes half closed shots that you otherwise love. Although I'm sure you can compose it better if you do it intentionally. :-)
ReplyDeleteso true. i've been trying to remember to experiment with this approach. the first time i did, my hubby said . . . "you missed their heads" . . . and i just grinned, "i know. it's art or something" ;)
ReplyDeleteLove these! Some of my favorite photos of my kids are also headless. The grandparents don't seem to understand them though. :)
ReplyDeletehehe!! Off with their heads! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteAnd while I didn't cut anyone's heads off in my post today, I didn't always show faces, either! And I have to admit, those are some of my most favs!
Ok, I've been brainstorming all week on setting up my scene! I think you'll love it! Gonna be shooting it in the morning! I'm getting excited!!!

ReplyDeleteI look forward to having some little seats & feet to try this out on!
Yep! That last one of yours has been a favorite of mine as well as the other two. Love your headless shots! That second picture little missy is just a wee babe in.
