Richard Avedon
He has made a composition triangle with his hands. The black shade on the shirt stands out more. the focal point is central. the image has been taken in a studio that is inside.you can control the lighting and ask the model to move around.
worst picture
Worst Image: The image I captured didn't quite work out due to the functions of the camera. I accidentally moved my camera a bit too fast causing my image to go out of focus making her eyes blurred.
best picture
This is my best picture because I captured Sania not looking directly at the the camera, she was looking slightly to the side which made my image feel more natural. The background I used against the bricks was suitable for the photograph I specially took.
first shoot
second shoot
The first pictures are of different peoples faces showing different emotions,such as sadness,depressed I used a timer and tripod and the picture is overexposed I didn't have much time to set it up properly.if I wanted to improve this picture I would change the contrast setting using Photoshop
third shoot
work on photoshop
fifth shoot
Best image
I like this image of Hilton as it captures him in a very different light and I feel this gives the viewer a response as the photo makes you think, what does it relate to? what is Hilton thinking?
worst image
This image didn't quite work out as Hilton moved as I was trying to focus on him. The exposure is too dark and very out of focus. If the lighting was better, it could show more in the picture and make the whole picture a better image.
