ESPN’s First Take visited Florida A&M University in 2021. This picture shows the Frist Take cast LIVE on Air. It’s a behind-the-scenes shot with the Host Stephen A . Smith speaking to the camera. He has a guest host to his left and right. For the most part, he is in the center of the image. When looking at this picture, he’s the focal point.
In my derivative of the original image, I cropped in on the guest host Kevin Hart. By using the rule of thirds, he is to the left of the frame. The focal point is now on him as the other subjects are no longer in the image. Kevin is here smiling with his First Take coffee mug enjoying the show.
Hi Christian,
I love how cropping this image can change literally everything about this photo. From a storyline perspective, you could have said he was a host or being interviewed in literally any show, and I would believe it. Without the crop, the narrative is decided. The funnier thing about the crop is that I am focusing on two background individuals. There is the woman in the back with a very serious face and the one guy that looks worried. This makes me wonder what they are talking about because everyone there is smiling.
