Family Portraits
For my family portrait assignment, I chose to photograph my two cats, Sheba and Lena. I captured Lena's personality in my first photograph due to the fact that she's playing fetch, her favorite past time. Lena is mid-stride with the ball in her mouth, although by the way her shoulders slump and her eyes being directed at the ground, it is evident that she is beginning to get tired. I used the rule of thirds to make the photo more dynamic and decided to capture her in action rather than sitting with the ball. My angle is a little to the right but straight on. The background is a simple bedroom and it shows that Lena is a ease in her own home. I find the positive and negative space in my image to be very interesting and successful.
