Portraits


 


      These photos were taken at the on the Horizon Christian School campus.The first three photos were taken near the woods on south campus; the last photo was taken in the building in the Bible classroom. These pictures were shot at about 3:00 P.M.. The person in all the of the pictures is Tanner Sims, a student at HCS. The first photo uses the rule of thirds technique, with Tanner's head most present in the third quadrant of the picture; back-lighting is also used. The second photo uses leading lines, with the log leading to him. The third  photo uses side-lighting, with the light hitting the left side of his face, casting a shadow. Lastly, the fourth photo uses repetition, with the multiple blocks in the wall behind him.
      These various pictures of Tanner all seem to tell a story. Tanner seems to be in a different mood in each photo. Whether it be hopeful, comical, or serious, all of the pictures seem to spark interest about Tanner, and who he is.
      This project has been more difficult than most of the previous ones. However, I think that I got some pretty good photos. The strenghts of these pictures are their levels of composition and level interest to the viewer.
