Module 6 Photo
In my original photo, I had the subject positioned against a fairly busy background that was dynamic and realistic, but perhaps too distracting to viewers. I listened to Jerica's advice from last week's discussion to take a new photo. Specifically, Jerica's words were: "The only thing for the first photo I would say is that it does seem pretty busy. While very cool and fun to look at, the background can potentially be seen as distracting from your subject because there is so much to look at and explore!" This was such an extremely helpful note! In my recreation, as seen at the second link above, I wanted to keep the setting of the photo consistent as well as the positioning of the subject, so I had my model pose in front of the fire station, directly in the center of the frame. It even had the same truck number labeled above the subject's head! This time however, instead of being right in front of the truck inside of the building where there was tons to look at and be distracted by, I had my model in front of the beautifully brightly painted door of the fire station. This is a solid (plus very vibrant) color and solid background, so much less to explore visually which allows the focus to be completely on the model's expression that tells a story. I was sad not to have Tanja in this photo :( ! d2l.depaul.edu/d2l/le/896354/discussions/threads/4595001/...
