Academic Shoot

Balance

I think I followed the balance rule alright. It was just kind of hard to find something to shoot for it. The subject of this photo is the two girls obviously, but to be more specific their hands working on the art project and their faces. Looking at this photo I think it's sort of easy to see what the subject is. 

Framing

I believe that I followed the rule of framing nicely. The subject of this photo is Jamie who's being framed by the bottom of a chair in the library, and i think it's quite evident that she's the center of focus.

Lines

The rule of lines is expressed through the bookshelves and books on the sides and behind Melina. There's so many lines in this photo that lead our focus to Melina and the book she's reading that I think i followed this rule pretty well. It is clear that she's the subject.

Rule of Thirds

In this photo of Emma, the rule of thirds is carried out through her hand color her art piece. I believe the rule of thirds was shown well in this photo, and our eyes are most likely drawn to her hand, aka the subject, before anything else.

Simplicity

The rule of simplicity is easy to follow if you can find the right thing to shoot. I think I displayed the rule alright. I know it's not the most interesting photo, but I like that you can sort of feel the exhaustion the boy has when looking at it. The first thing my eyes go to is the top of his hat and his shoulders, so I guess that's the subject, and I think it's easy to tell.

Merger

This photo is a merger photo, at least I hope it is. I actually really like this photo and I think it's one of my favorites because of all the colors. Normally I don't prefer business, but I like it in this photo. The subject is the girls hand, and I think it's easy to tell.
