Portrait Exhibiting Rule of Thirds


      This is a photo of Tia H., that was taken in front of a dumpster. Tia is the subject of this piece, and she is breaking the fourth wall. The objects in this shot are close up, and in focus. This piece is figurative, rather than abstract.
      I feel that this piece follows the rule of thirds. There are a few different textures and shapes that make up this photo, for instance; the dumpster, Tia's hair, and her clothes. There are also some different tones, but the artwork has relatively little contrast. The image is in focus, and this was done intentionally.
      Through this photo, I was trying to express a few different moods; primarily the feeling of apathy. The image is light, because I felt that if the photo were darker, some of Tia's character may be lost. The artwork was taken outdoors.
      I felt that the work was successful, but could have been improved with more value. I conveyed the feeling that I set out to produce.
