What to Capture

A close-up of a face through a burnt hole in a newspaper. Bright flames frame the tear. Warm light creates contrasting shadows on the face.

Key Considerations

• lighting solely from the fire
• the facial expression should be deep and weary
• the texture of the paper should be prominent
• deep shadows to create volume
