Technique 6 – Storytelling: Image 3

Uploaded: November 22, 2011

Description

Description:
Emphasizing the hand of one person on the shoulder of another, I cropped this image to this emotional rudiment of relationship. One need not know anything about football to be touched by this image’s mix of individual power and mutual support.

Applications from the lesson plans:
What can my viewer react to? (L2); I desaturated the red of the background bricks so they wouldn’t distract from the main storyline (L1); Cropped prominent elements using ROT (L2).

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.


 

The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:

I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
