The above two images are of the same person but of a completely composition. Although the lighting is very similar it gives the two images a different feel, a feeling of mysteriousness. The top one is composed using the rule of thirds where the model is standing in the second line. The use of lighting in the two images highlights his eyes and they are sharp.

  1. Hi
    you have produced a biog and some images, Im guessing that you cut and paste the biog, I dont mind a very very small amount of this, the rest of the blog needs to be about your analysis of the images and what value you can draw from them. (see the tutor site to help you with this).
    Your research really needs to kick on now and be appearing in much more volume as this will inspire, influence, and affect your work.

  2. HI
    I need to see more research happening now please, the volume of this has to be equal for both of your themes as well, look at the assignment paper on the tutor site to check.
    I will help you with the labels as they are not quite right, dont worry though a quick fix.
