Effectiveness • The product matches my original idea because it has similar colours with the person on a similar colour in the foreground which allows them to stand out. • The method and techniques I used involved having the subject placed so that when it comes to editing the image the rule of third is visible. • My final image matches professional conventions of photography as the rule of third and framing has been applied. • When planning to take this image I was going to use portrait photography, I achieved this by finding someone I knew that was willing to have their photo taken. I then found an appropriate location for the photo to be taken, I then found a time we were both free and meet up at the location. • The skills I have devolved are editing images that contain a person in them.
Sources of information • I found information by searching for portrait photographers on Bing until I spotted a photo that stood out, I then found out who the photographer was and found their website. Comments • I think the image ended up with good quality and it turned out how I wanted it to, my target audience is people who like portrait photos. • Comments I got where: “It looks really good” “The colours look really good and make the image stand out”
