assignment 3.

Leibovitz.

 Focal point.

http://www.picturecorrect.com/tips/focal-point-in-photo-compositions/

What's a focal point-

A focal point is the part of an image that draws the eye of a viewer to the most important part of the image or the area that you want to highlight. How you do this will make or break the final image. If you don’t know how to create this point then you will not achieve much in your photography.

The professionals have all worked this one out and if you are attempting to create similar images then learn this point well. It frustrates the eye of a viewer if there is no focal point as the eye is not drawn to any one particular part of the photo. The focal point only occupies a small part of the scene but will make or break the whole image. The simplest form of this is an isolated object seen from a distance on a plain background.

Focal point in the photo-

It has a focal point because the fist thing you see is him holding the swan it just draws your eyes to it intently,because most of the back ground is mostly black.And so because swan is quite white it makes it stand out so much more than most of the photo and the contrast between the swans white and the mans really black top make him and the swan stand out even more.

Factual-

This photo was taken proximity 10 or 15 years ago of Leonardo Dicaprio who is a  is an American actor and film producer. He has been nominated for three Academy Awards and nine Golden Globe Awards. He won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor for his performance in The Aviator.

Technical-

Aesthetic- 

I really do like this photo because it shows a lot of effect and emotion,his facial expressions show a lot of emotion because he holding a very sad but strong face. Like as if someone has hurt the swan and he's protecting the swan and he's looking at someone in anger but almost upset about the swan.

Lighting-

Light is a fundamental part of photography. Photographers use light in their photographic compositions, sometimes taking advantage of the natural light of their surroundings and other times manipulating light sources to achieve the desired lighting effect.

Assignment 3.

Composition.

perou.

http://www.perou.co.uk/

Composition- 

is defined as the combining of distinct parts or elements to form a whole. In photography that definition is very important in taking quality pictures. The following rules of composition should be learned and considered but not necessarily used in every photo. Once you have learned these rules you will be more observant of the possible photo opportunities that surround you. But keep in mind that the really famous photographers usually find a creative way to stretch or break the rules of composition.

How dose this photo show composition?

Because of how the photography has but the wording with the road and the person all together to create effect.

Asthmatic-
I like this photo a lot because its so simple but shows a lot of emotion,and you can easy tell  its Rhianna.And the thing i really do like about this photo is that from first glance you can tell that she's not happy. 

Assignment 2.

Perou.

Factual-

 Raplth John Perou,born may 1970.Known professionally as Perou,is a British fashion,portrait and music photographer who has also appeaser a judge on make me a supermodel UK and on season 2of Bravo TV's American Make me a super model. He was part of the TV series called 'Dirty sexy things' on the British network E4 which aired on 2011. Perpu photography models to be put in his exhibition at the end o the series.

The context-

This photo is the only image he had taken of him,It was taken  in the past few year.Not so long ago. 

Technical- 

I think this photo has been taken out side on a normal road.But Perou has used a fire effect on photo should or somewhere.

Aesthetics-  
I really do like this photo a lot because it shows a lot of effect in the way he's on fire and he doesn't really seem to bothered about it too much he's just standing there so that in some ways could been seem that maybe he doesn't much care that he's on fire that maybe he might want to be. So that really dose show a lot of emotions because you have to have a really good reason to way you don't want to be on fire its not something you would chose likely. So although we don't know why the he's on fire or the reasons behind it,i personally think it makes it more entrenching and more interesting because you think and make up your own mind on what you think he might be there for. That's what i really like best about this photo.
