CONTRAST



This first few picture starts with my love for contrast.  In this still (above), there are several things that seem to assign depth to the picture. The camera is focused on three things as well as the light only hitting three things relatively. The first is chair back in front of him, then daniel Craig's face, then the shelf behind. 


This picture (left) could almost be placed in my framing category that you'll hear of next but I chose it for contrast because of the light in the center of the room surrounded by darkness.  














This picture (right) is great to me because it shows two completely different feelings in several ways. First of all there are his feelings and that can be shown through the acting skills as well as the way the light is soft on him.  I chose this for contrast because he, in a non forceful but persistent way is enjoying this or trying to and she, sadly is not.  Hints her face and body language.  The LIGHT IS MY FAVORITE PART!!!! with the softness on him and hard sharp light on her face make an argument for obvious disagreement.


LOCATION AND FRAMING

I have a love for great and overpowering, awing locations.
Another notable things about these pictures is their use of framing, achieving grasping as much as one can or might in only one shot.

















Silhouettes

Backlighting, in my opinion, is the strongest type of lighting you can use. It creates a overpowering feeling that almost dehumanizes what ever is being framed, making it almost god like.  



PERSPECTIVE
Last but not least, camera tricks, or camera placement rather, can make things: big and small, bright and dim,  cold and hot, near and far. Things can look, feel, and simply be completely different just because of the camera placement.
