1.) I chose this person for my portrait because I'm a fan of Formula One racing, and fan of this driver.

2.) I thought it captured his face really well, and I liked the way the colors meshed together.

3.) The easy areas were the glasses, beanie, and shirt. However, the logos and the lips were the most difficult.

2. How did you capture and portray your subject matter to show your perspective?
   - I went to locations that I thought fit me best, and the poses also had a good way of showing my perspective. All of the colors helped portray me as a BEAST.

Compositional Contact Sheet
