 For my photos I went with the theme of people. To make the person or people important in the image I try to make them stand out or to be the most interesting thing in the picture, because a lot of the people I meet at shoots are interesting themselves and I want their personalities to come out in some of the pictures. I made my girlfriend, Karina, stand out by asking her to put on a red jacket and put her by greenery. I also placed the focus point on her eye so that is what will be the most sharp; also the background is softer, so the attention will come back to her eyes. For my friend, Junior, I waited for the soft light from the rising sun to become harsh to cast a shadow on his face. He stands out in this photo because he is the biggest thing in the frame and the brightest part of the photo is the light cast on his face. Even thought the bride and groom don’t necessarily fill the frame they stand out. Everything around them is green so attention goes back to them, also the line of corn brings the eye back to them. The family photo the attention on them because they are the biggest thing in there. If there is anything distracting in the background they are blocking it. Also the short line of fence on both sides leads the eyes back to the family.
