Original Photo by Cristina Juska – CC BY 4.0<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

For this assignment, I chose to work with a photo I had taken a while back of my son, Gabe, at the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the original photo, there are several issues to fix. For example, there is an extraneous woman walking in the background. The focal point, my son, is nearly centered in the image, and you can’t tell what he is looking at in the water (you can see something, but it looks like a floating object or buoy). There is way too much sand in the foreground, and even though Gabe was walking, the image feels static and boring, with little emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the cropped image, Gazing at Papa, I followed the Rule of Thirds, placing the focal point off center, and giving Gabe room to move in the frame. I removed the extra foreground and background, zooming in so you can tell he is actually moving toward a person in the water–his dad, who has been snorkeling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite thing about the derivative photo is that you can see a determination in the set of Gabe’s shoulders, and even a movement in his gait, that was not noticeable in the original shot. Gabe is gazing out at his papa and walking purposefully to join him in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
