today’s class assignment was to go around the school and take some nice photos, but the main topic of the assignment was lighting. This photo was taken in the school cafeteria the reason why I choose this photo is because I really like how well frame it was taken. I did some adjustments to the exposure because it was too dark.

The photographer who’s work I chose is Jeremy Cowart. The above photo stood out to me the most because of its unique look and feel. I love that the person’s face is blocked by their hair, it add’s a sense of mystery. The color’s are not over saturated or bright. You can see use of the rule of thirds, lining the subject (the person) on the right side of the image. The two palm trees sort of act as a frame for the person. The pools rim almost looks like leading lines pointing back toward the subject. The only part of the image that doesn’t work for me is the house. It’s kind of unnecessarily placed in the frame and distracting.

The photographer I picked is Francesco Gola (http://www.francescogola.net/portfolio/italy/) because I fell in love with his landscape shots. The composition of his images are just amazing and the colors that are found in each photo just amazes me because views like that actually, exist. With each photo seen in his portfolio, you appreciate nature more, you are just like “Wow”. This particular photo captured my eye because first, I see the rule of thirds because although there’s a lot it seems balanced. You have the sunset, the water, and reflection of the sky against the water, you also have the mountains and the village. In fact, you could even see the rocks that are underwater.  So for this picture, I feel like the photographer really focused on the composition of his photo, and he used the rule of thirds. He didn’t just center the picture but, rather angle it to balance everything out. Made me feel like I was there, like just seeing the picture made me envision myself there and actually relaxed me a bit.

Joey Lawrence really caught my attention, his work is amazing. I realized that most all of his work consists of framing, center dominant eye, fill the frame, figure to ground and symmetry. I also like how he makes all of his portraits send a message. For example, this is one of my favorite portraits from him, I really like how in this portrait he uses framing and figure to ground.

One photographer that really caught my eye was Joey Lawrence. I really like his use of focus and composition in his images. This image works in terms of framing, I like how he used the subway doors as frame. The rule of thirds is used to almost perfection highlighting the subject in the center of the image.
