Assignment 3 - Focal Point

What is Focal Point?

A focal point is the actual point of interest in the actual photo that you are taking.

For example: taking a picture of a flower, your main focus will be only the flower and nothing else.

In a perfect shot, the flower could be totally in focus and everything else in the background should be out of focus.

My Comments: The photographer who took this photo is called Vee speers. Her work has been widely exhibited and has been seen in publications including The Sunday Times, Harpers & Queen, Arena, Esquire, and Black & White Magazine. The photo above is from 'The Birthday Party'. I choose this photo because the girl seems to be the only focus in it. The photo is mostly white and light colours apart from the girls pink dress, which stands out the most. Also her big hair is the same shape as the balloon and her dress is rolled up so the attention is taken away from her legs.

Assignment 3 - Composition

 What is composition?

In photography, compostion means how the photograph is layed out and put together and where the picture is taken. It is the placement or arrangement of visual elements or ingredients for a aesthetic work of art.

My comments: The photographer is called Annie Leibovitz. I choose this photo because I like the way the light from the castle shines down to make a pretty effect, I also like that it's a recreation of the disney story of Cinderella leaving the ball.  

FIRST ANALYSIS

 The photographer is Annie Liebowitz, she was born on the 2nd of October, 1949. She is now 63 years old and she is an Amercian portrait photographer. The picture is recreating a disney image from the Little Mermaid, it's the evil octopus lady. It looks like a painting and I don't think it has much light. I like the background and the dark colours and that it's frictional and creative. Also she looks very evil and it's been made from a cartoon to real looking.
