The concept of still portraits is for the viewer to get a more personal connection with the subject. There's usually no props involved that create distractions. It's just you and the subject. With my pictures, I have taken away a bit of that connection by adding distracting affects to a couple of the photos but I assure you the original ones definetely had that connection. In the first and second photo of Cal you have the biggest personal connection with him because there's no distracting effects in the background. You also notice that he has no real facial expression. He's just chilling out in both of them. In the second photo of Cal you still have a really great connection because it's literally just a green wall in the background. In the third photo of Cal you find his face a little bit modified but you can still relate and connect with him. In the fourth photo of Cal, the colors may be a little distracting, but at the same time they kind of focus him in on the photo.
