Composition experiments

This was probably my favourite picture. The shadow creates a lined composition due to the backlighting. She's slightly off centre and tilted down a little. I took this photograph in this way to seem a lot like Willy Ronis' famous capture.

I liked how, in this picture, the steps create almost a lined composition, and the light in shining down from above my model. The camera is tilting up at her so to make her seem more powerful.

I think the best feature of this picture is the way in which she's slightly nonchalant, as if the camera isn't there. I think it captures a sort of everyday life element in to, something that the core target audience could relate to. Her face is off centre and pointing almost as if she's looking at where the masthead would be.

I think in this picture, the background creates a nice contrast between light and dark as certain shadows are significant in the image, with just a hint of light peaking through. The railing helps create a lined composition, that leads the eye up to the main point; which is my model.

This picture highlights, specifically, a type of framing which surrounds my model almost twice, with the door frame just behind her and the fact that she appears inside but is actually outside. The steps give her a height advantage, giving her power and the railings also act as a lined composition, once again leading the eye up to the main point.
