Create a series of expressive portraits that showcase young individuals experiencing a range of emotions, such as joy, sadness, and determination. The artistic style should combine realism with abstract elements, using mixed media. Set the camera to a wide aperture (f/2.8) to create a shallow depth of field that emphasizes the subject's face. Use soft studio lighting to capture natural skin tones while incorporating bold colors in the background that reflect the emotion portrayed. Each portrait should have a unique backdrop that complements the subject's mood, focusing on their eyes and expressions to convey deep emotional connections.
