emulating a professional photographer

For this assignment, I chose this as my most successful image. I used the rule of thirds technique and had my subject stay on the left side of the image instead of being on the center, similar Cho Gi Seok's image. Additionally, both images use the surrounding to create a shadow on the subject. It adds movement and draws the viewer to the person in the image. One challenge I ran into was ensuring that my camera made the person my focal point. Since I had a lot of branches in the way, it was difficult to make sure it wasn't distracting from the subject's face. For the future, I want to explore more with different colors and switching up the angles of the images. I also want work on enhancing the image by editing photograph. This could easily change the mood/emotion portrayed in the image.
