PROJECT #16: PORTRAIT (Rule of Thirds composition)

DIRECTIONS.
  • Make 10+ different photographs of one or two people: 
One person=10+ images 
- or- 
Two people=5+ images each) 
  • Compose the frame with the RULE OF THIRDS.
  • At least one person must be over the age of 21. 
  • Bring all images to next class. 


MAKE THE FOLLOWING IMAGES OF EACH PERSON (all in rule of thirds):
  • A serious expression
  • A smiling(ish) expression
  • The subject looking over their shoulder back at the camera.
  • From above (Your subject looking up at the camera=you are above your subject in some way)
  • Half of the face only (put one of their eyes in the intersections of rule of thirds)
  • From the shoulders up (their head in one of the intersections of rule of thirds)
  • Full body in the composition.

WHAT IS RULE OF THIRDS?
(Review: You are to place the pivotal/main subject matter in one of the intersections.)
