Harris+Portrait

Picture 1: this photograph demonstrates mostly artificial lifting, because it’s taken within a closed space, like a restaurant. Picture 2: this photo shows dramatic lighting. Picture 3: this shows studio lighting.

With the compositional techniques, all three of the photos above show rule of thirds, filling the frame, focal point, and point of view. In the first picture, he is taken at a different angle and has a point of view from the ground and close to his feet. For the second picture, this shows mostly filling the frame and focal point, as well as rule of thirds. For the focal point, I am mainly drawn to the girl's eyes, even thought they aren't the biggest or most distracting part of the photo. Because they are so bright and fierce, I am immediately drawn to them when I look at the picture. For the last photo, it uses rule of thirds and point of view. It may seem the subject is placed directly in the center of the portrait, however, because of the way she is turned and the way she is positioned, it makes things less harsh.
