Vance looks like a dip shit. Trump’s photo is quite hard though, not going to lie. It looks like the photo of the corrupt evil dictator of a dystopian revolution movie.
In the grand scheme of things, they deserve what they got. But as a trained photographer, whoever did the lighting for these portraits did a terrible job. The fill and hair lights are okay (although the color temperature is all over the place, and doesn’t look like it’s an intentionally artistic choice), but the key light is way too bright. Looks like they somewhat masked it for Trump’s but may have just used the barndoors on the light so there’s a very dark shadow on his chest. With Vance they opened them up a bit, but he’s still got a weird shadow line from his right shoulder to his left elbow. They’d probably have gotten better pictures if they went to a JCPenney.
JFC I hate this timeline.

Oh wait…

That background is a mess. Why so many lines intersecting his right side? Is there any symbolism to that painting?
They’re both pretty terrible from a purely technical and compositional perspective.
Why does he look evil? Was it necessary? Lol
Like bunny-eyes up there could ever be considered “hard”.
Why are they both doing the Kubrick Stare?
