AO2: Composition

Photograph 1: !- I shot using a rule of thirds grid in mind by

basing my subject in the middle and having an equal space all around them as you can see here. !

- When it comes to the background it’s blurred compared to the subject, this is through using a low aperture to create this depth of field. !

- Experimentation came about when I took many photo’s of only one person, I did this to catch natural elements such as a smile or a laugh instead of a pose, makes it more natural and individual. !

- My subject blends with the background due to the similar colours but also the lighting is the same throughout the photo, what brings him is the depth of field. !

Photograph 2: !- Again with is photo I shot with a rule of thirds

template in mind, keeping the subject central so it gives me more to do when it comes to editing. !

- When it comes to view point and shooting the photo, I crouch and take it mid height so I can get an eye level view as it’s portraiture photography. !

- Leading lines play a point in the photograph, there is a pathway cutting through the lower third of the photo which is a different colour than the grass, it brings our eyes down which when makes us focus on the subject. !

- The trees in the background are not as dense in the top right third, the lamp post is there to balance the elements.
