For my film noir photo, I was drawn to an image of Mr. Florendo the Digital Media teacher in the recording studio because this photo style is usually known for being clearer-cut, but I thought the reflections in the glass could add interesting noise and framing. Surely there must be a lot on his mind with everything around his head. As I adjusted the contrast, I had to burn some parts of the wall in the background since the walls in the studio are bright. I like how this prompt made me think about framing the subject with contrast instead of just from shape.
