Portrait Series


This is a portrait of my friend, I tried to take pictures of her doing her make up. I think next time I should pick a solid background to put behind her, I feel that the background is very distracting. I like the first photo the best just because it has more natural lighting than in the other photos.

Photography Composition

Leading Line
 


Leading line is when there are lines in a photo that lead to something.
This picture was taken at the Perth Amboy Waterfront. The railings on the dock are perfect for a leading line photograph. The lines lead right into the middle of the picture.



Framing


Framing a photo means to take a picture with an image inside a border.
This is a picture of my back door. I would consider this a framing photo because it has the border around the images behind it.



Horizontal


Horizontal pictures have a bigger width than length.


This picture was taken in Bayville while I was on a dock. This image is perfect because even in the picture everything is going into a horizontal motion.






Vertical
Vertical pictures have a bigger length than width.
This picture was taken in Times Square. In this picture everything is in a vertical motion, just like in the horizontal picture.





Informal Balance

This type of picture is asymmetrical and the objects don’t tend to be the same size. 
I think this is a perfect example of informal balance. It’s a picture of my dog and my stuff animal dog sitting next to each other. They are both dogs but are completely different sizes.
