Change of focus | 06:28AM Mar 28, 2008
These two shots were two of my personal favorites from the weekend. These shots, for me, really embody what it’s like to be with the little peanut.
I used an unusual technique to capture both of these shots. As you may have noticed, Mel Mel isn’t the main focus in either of these shots. Instead, I have drawn your eye away from her and to a separate part of the scene.
I enjoy using this technique in photojournalism because it allows the viewer to experience more than just the main subject of the image. You will also notice that there is a strong visual guideline in both of these shots. This allows your viewer to be drawn through the frame, stopping to take in each part of the composition.
Yes, these are the things I think about while lying on my brother’s floor photographing my ten-month-old niece. Pretty ridiculous huh?
