Derrick Freske is a portrait photographer who is best known for dramatic lighting portraits. His works often feels dreamy and cinematic, making his style popular in portrait photography. Freske often uses two different colored lights on the face, usually blue, red, purple, orange, cyan, and magenta. These colors create a high-contrast mood and an eye-catching appearance. Even though the colors are intense, the light itself is usually soft, with no harsh shadows, and it has a glossy appearance. Freske blends colors smoothly in the background and on the face, creating a gradient atmosphere. His colors give his portraits a modern and dreamy feeling. Freske often crops tightly on the face or upper body, allowing him to emphasize expression and lighting. Sometimes, subjects turn their heads, look off-camera, touch their faces, and hold a dramatic pose to create energy. His themes are identity, beauty, and emotional intensity.
This is Derrick Freske’s work. I got inspired by this photo because I think the colors are very unique, and it makes the photo more dramatic. The blue light gives a metallic tone, and it adds a sense of intensity. The red light adds warmth and emotion to the photo. The portrait is closely framed, and the angles create dynamic energy. After examining this photo, I attempted to create unique light patterns, strong contrast, and a dramatic mood.
