Looking Within The Frame

Experiment With Lighting

Get Your Subject Out Of Their Comfort Zone

The Candid

Get A Smile




Part B:

Front

Left

Right
I both agree and disagree with the left side being a persons best side. My model had more emotions present when the right side of her face was photographed, but the left side was more appealing to look at. It could be that I prefer the image of the left side because of the angle of the models chin in more appealing and gives her a strongly defined jaw line. If her jaw were at a different angle in the right side picture I may have found that one more appealing.

Static and Dynamic


Static Portrait:
The focal point of this image is the man. This shows static, because his legs and arms are straight. The subordinate element of the straight poles holding up the raining are straight up and down adding to the static of this image. The element of form and principle line are shown in this image.





Dynamic Portrait:
The man is the focal point of this image. His body and legs go off at angles from each other, so do his knees and arms, so this is a dynamic image. The angle of the staircase adds to the dynamic composition. The element of form and the principle of line are shown in this image.






Static Portrait:
The woman in this picture is the focal point. Her arms and torso are straight giving the image a static composition. The straight lines in the window add to the static feel of the image. The element of contrast and the principle of color are shown in this image.













Dynamic Portrait: 
The woman in this picture is the focal point. Her arms and leg is
bent and she is looking away from the camera creating a dynamic
appearance. In this image the window frames are at a slight angle creating a more dynamic look.  The element of contrast and the principle of color are shown in this image.


Dynamic Landscape:
The focus point in the image is the tree trunk, because it is twisted the image is dynamic. The branches that go out at angles and are also twisted create a more dynamic look. The principle of texture and the element of contrast are present in the image.






Static Landscape:
The focal point of the image is the tree trunk, because it is straight the image is static. The branch in the front that is aligned with the trunk adds to the dynamic composition of the image. The element of contrast and the principle of contrast is demonstrated in the image.




Static Architecture:
The staircase is the focal point of the image, because all of the stairs are aligned and straight the image is static. The straight lines of the railings and window add to the static feel of the image. The principle of value and the element of harmony are demonstrated in the image.





 Dynamic Architecture:
The wall is the focal point of the image, because it is curved the image is dynamic. The angle of the roof and telephone wires adds to the dynamic feel of the image. The elements of contrast and rhythm are demonstrated in this image.
