Add a "Gritty" Look to your Portraits

gritty, originally uploaded by Teresa Hart.

I took this portrait last week and thought it deserved a different, more dramatic look. Recently, I noticed the "gritty" look to portraits I see in advertisements, etc. I thought it would work well for this particular portrait. What do you think?

If you are interested in getting this "gritty" look, take a look at this tutorial by Dave Cross.

iheartfaces/Dramatic Black and White

This week the challenge over at iheartfaces is "dramatic black and white." I choose this photo because I think it shows raw emotion between the dad and his son. The dad looks strong, yet vunerable and I love the placement of the hands of the dad on the boy. Hope you like it! Head on over to to check out the other entries! Teresa Hart Photography
