Brainstorm:
long and lean almost grotesque think Nightmare Before Christmas
ankle length pants with stilts peeking out
Im thinking a royal head-like Queen Victoria
Along with an extremely festive torso of a Carnival dancer in Brazil
Snapshot or Photograph?
Snapshot: a quick shot, often spontaneous, taken to record a moment in time.
Photograph: an image taken with care and thought.
Rules of Composition:
-Rule of Thirds: imaginary lines drawn diving you camera into thirds, horizontally and vertically
-place your subject where the lines intersect
-or fill the entire frame with your subject
-place horizon line slightly above or below to have focus more on sky or ground
-Use the lines within the foreground or background to lead the viewer's eye through the photo
Point of View: change the way your subject is perceived by changing the camera position
-if composing a subject that you want to appear tall point the camera up
-also point the camera down to achieve the look of a more petite subject
Simplicity: keep your background simple and clutter less
-mood and effectiveness can change depending on your background
-a chaotic composition will cause the viewer to look away
