A Judge Portrait in the Lace Jabot

The The Jabot register

A woman judge made the lace collar worn over the black robe into a signature, and the jabot has since become part of how a woman on the bench is pictured. This pack takes the official portrait that a judicial career, and a judicial election, both ask for.

Three photographs. In chambers, the lace at the throat over the black robe, walnut shelves of bound volumes dark behind you and one green spine among them. Seated in the high-backed green leather chair behind the bench, forearms on its arms. And at half-length from the well of the court, the bench rising behind you with a carved eagle above it held dark.

Wood, black and white are held to values, and green leather is the one hue, echoed once on the spine of a book. The light is soft light from a high window, modelling the face and keeping the lace bright.

How to take source photos for the The Jabot pack

Better source photos make better portraits. A few things sharpen the likeness before the wardrobe and the setting go on top.

1. Even, soft lightStand near a window with indirect daylight on your face. Avoid overhead bulbs and phone flash; both flatten the face.
2. Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly. No shot from below, no wide-angle close-up.
3. Face fully clearHair off the face, no hats or sunglasses. A clear, front-facing photo gives the most of you to work with.
4. Grave, fair, attentiveA judge's portrait is composed. A steady, serious expression with a trace of warmth in your source photos suits it.
5. Plain background is fineDo not worry about your own backdrop. The pack's three settings replace it entirely.
