Requirement 5
This photo satisfies the fifth requirement of poor composition because the subject is perfectly centered in frame. However, I shot this during midday in order to capture a harsh shadow on myself and use it to make the image more dynamic. This photo was taken using a tripod and remote trigger, at 1/125 seconds at f1.8 and ISO 50 on a 85mm lens with a 0.9 ND filter. I chose the base ISO of my camera to minimize visual noise, and shot wide open to maximize subject isolation from the background. The ND filter was not necessary for this shot, but I left it on the lens as it was more convenient to just turn down the shutter speed. I opted for 85mm here to compress the background behind the subject. In post, I tuned down the blacks and shadows and edited the RGB curve in order to really emphasize the contrast created by the shadow, and then converted the photo to grayscale so that the colors wouldn’t distract from the contrast between light and dark.
