While taking my light an shadow images, my main focus was to position my subjects to fill the frame. I changed angles for a cast of sunlight on one side of each of my classmates an created contrast with shadows. In photo 1 there is a composition of figure to background, with a blurry background. This enhances my subject and brings her forward in the image. The leaves from the trees above her creates diagonal shadows across her face still leaving plenty light on her and around her. In photo 2 an 3 the focus was on my subjects face, bringing it upward towards the sunlight to avoid a harsh shadow on her face due to the brim of her hat. The shadows from the leaves, creates contrast an a balance of light an dark.

Fill in the frame is the main technique I used for the following photos, for the first two photos, I kept the figure in the middle of the frame and place behind a object to make the photo visually appealing and interesting, also creating an abstract frame using the surrounding. The last photo follows the same idea, however, I kept figure on the right 1/3 of the plane and behind the iron fence.

These are my best 3 examples from todays shoot of Kiara Camacho. I really like these 3 photos I took because I like how it plays with the light and shadows on Kiara’s face as well as chest and shoulders. I tried to use fill the frame in the photos to take up the whole frame and make sure she was the main focus of the photo. I took these pictures with placing her under the trees and gate to get the perfect shadows of the leaves and tree. I tried to use composition and DOF in most of these photos as well.

The Terror of war (Napalm girl)    Nick Ut 1972

a Vietnamese  photographer by the name of nick Ut was 25 mile away from Siagon. when a the Vietnamese air force mistakenly drop a load of napalm near by Trang bang and as he was walking towards town. he saw a group of kid running toward him and notice one little girl from head to toe with no cloths on. captures the famous image of her as she running but in reality she in pain, suffering from third degree burns. and he didn’t think she would survived but she did. this image in way was controversial, Ut’s Press colleagues, Hal Buell and Horst Faas thought  the photograph was news-worthy and its value would override the nudity. He was there at the right time to capture the moment give him the win for a Pulitzer prize.

This image is about a woman and a child where on a fire escape trying to get out of a burning building. I think this photo was very well taken. The photo was well framed. the photo interested me because I felt like I could visualize the incident as it was happening.
