Composition
In our photo challenge of the week, we were tasked to incorporate photo techniques and compositional techniques into them.
-
Frame Within the Frame
For this challenge we had to frame a subject using something that wasn’t an actual picture frame. For this, I chose this rock formation built by someone else I found on the beach. It represents the connection between something man-made and natural because both have effects on the other and that man-made creations rely on nature for its materials.

Using Props
In this photo I wanted to capture the world through a different lens. Looking through the world with a different perspective will widen your knowledge and make you a more well-rounded person which is what I wanted to convey through this photo.

Depth of Field

Viewpoint
This picture I took was intended to be from the perspective of a small bug as it watches the world go by. It adds an interesting feeling and perspective to the picture because it’s a low shot and brings detailing both to the subject and the background.

Rules of Thirds Emotion
I believe this pictures shows a good use of the rules of thirds in conveying adulthood. The colors cast dark shadows on my Dad, drawing attention to him using those colors.

Rule of Odds

Lighting
This image, by far, is my favorite. Using the separate flash module, I was able to create a mysterious and nervous scene. The tilted angle creates a sense of uneasiness which is further emphasized by the darkness. You can only see a few feet in front of you before darkness swallows your view. This sense of knowing so little in a strange environment is exactly what I wanted to capture for this assignment.

Symmetry Portrait
In Digital Media, we learned how to use Photoshop to make an object symmetrical around the x or y-axis. We used this to make our faces perfectly symmetrical by the left or the right.

Fill The Frame
In this photo, I wanted to create a scene with suspense using the flash setting. Taken at night, the background is pitch black and though illuminated, still contains mystery to it as there is only a small field of vision. Additionally, the tilt of the camera gives off an uncertain and ominous feel to it.
