Focal Point x

Focal Point =  'focal point' is the part of the photograph that grabs your eye first or the object that the photographer wants to stand out from the rest of the photograph.



This photo has been taken by 'Annie Leibovitz'. A famous photographer who takes photograph's of famous people and she also takes portrait photograph's. All the photograph's she has taken are not just of famous people they are people who have a close relationship with friends or family.
In this photograph it has good lighting, I think this photograph has been taken in a a flat or her house. I think the 'focal point' in this photograph is her and the position she is in. Its the first thing that I notice in the photograph. I personally like this photograph as its really simple and has an easy 'focal point'.

Lighting ! x

This is a photograph taken by Annie Leibovitz. This is a portrait of angelina jolie, 
The light in this photograph has been used well. Leibovitz has thought carefully how to take this photograph and how to make her hair and top look dark and her face and body look lighter. This photograph has been done in black and white so the photograph stands out more than if it was in colour. I love this picture as it stands out clearly and the fact that the model has an even tone to her.This lighing is called arifical lighting, And also the photograph has been taken in a studio.

Context: I found lots of photographs by annie liebowitz of famous people. she seems to be a photographer of famous people.
Technical: its full colour, it is set outside and i think its natural lighting.
Asthetic: I love this photo as the white horse is standing to perfection.
