Firelit portrait by Philipp Kühne, use of fire to light the subject. Creates a warm, calm effect in the photo through colours.

I started this portrait as a class demonstration, in order to let the students understand the color in a colouered light source condition. As for this portrait, it made more complex and fun with it's light source from the bottom and the texture on the mordel. To simplify the texture contents based on understanding the inner structure is one of the importance in paint/draw a portrait. Photo Ref: Yulia Shur
