Breaking the Rules Techniques
Breaking the Rules Techniques
Technique # 1- Focus on the main object, and blur the background ( The main subject will stand out from the rest of the photo because it's clear and detailed) 
Technique # 2- cut off heads(Usually, when we take pictures, we focus on people's heads(a bit boring)- but if we cut the heads off- it will give the image a very interesting look! )
Technique # 3- Only focus on one part of the object, and take it very closely ( The photo is going to look very interesting because you can't really tell what it is )
Technique # 4- Only focus on what's really close to the camera, and leave the rest blurred (not the whole thing's in the camera- it creates a cool effect!!)
Technique # 5- If you try to take a picture of a mirror /or anything that reflects, you will get a cool reflection of yourself which will create an appealing effect!!!!1st photo:

Assignment One- Beauty
1. Describe this photo in detail. i.e. subject, background, lighting, textures, colors and placement.
The main subjects in this photo are the flowers. They bloom in dark pick and in red. The lighting in this photo came from above; therefore, the lighting in the center is the brightest and gradually, it gets darker as the flowers are farther from the center. The background of this picture are some pink flowers and green leaves. It is kind of blurry, because the main focus of this shot is in the center. Because the flowers are taken from close- up and focused at the center, you can see every little details and textures of the petals of several flowers. The flower in the center of the image is the only flower that faced up and the all the other flowers are faced sideways.
2. Explain why you took this photo and why is it your favorite.
I took this photo on a sunny day outside a flower shop. I decided to take this photo because I thought the color is very attractive and that it would be really pretty if I take a shot of it. Fortunately, it turned out the way that I expected to be. I really like how it’s really focused in the center and not so much in the background. Furthermore, I really liked the atmosphere and the feel of this picture. therefore, this is my favorite shot.
3. How does this image reflect “beauty”?
This image reflects beauty because of the atmosphere it’s creating. Because it’s pink, it creates a romantic and tranquil atmosphere, which makes people feel extremely peaceful and relaxed.
