Noel Perry: A Senior Profile Portrait by William Thabit (2015)

The subject of this portrait is Mr. Noel Perry. Mr. Perry is a multitalented man. He has invested in companies that help change the world for the better, such as LeapFrog toys, which helps educate the youth with interactive games. Mr. Perry is also a philanthropist, and has created a non-profit called Next10, which focuses on making California better economically and environmentally in the next 10 years. In addition, Mr. Perry is an artist, and uses this creativity in his business ventures.

To get this shot of Mr. Perry, I tried several techniques. Mr. Perry wanted to have his picture taken in front of his artist studio, so I had him stand in front of his studio and look into the distance. I thought that having Mr. Perry look into the distance was symbolic for how he is a visionary and looks towards a better future in many of his business pursuits. I laid down on the ground and shot the picture looking up at Mr. Perry, to try and capture how much of a big personality Mr. Perry is, and how he is ''larger than life.'' In post production, I lightened the picture using Adobe Photoshop.
