Portraits and Landscapes

1. A Child's Joy
2. Playa Puntarenas, Costa Rica (Puntarenas Beach)
3. This demonstrates a good portrait, angles, lighting, and asymmetry. This is a good portrait because it's a candid, and you can feel the laughter and personality in this photo. This photo was actually taken from a lower angle. My sister, Zoe, is very small (like really really really small), so to make her seem like an average sized child, I took it at a lower angle. Not necessarily because I want to warp your perception of her, but because I wanted to play around with them. This demonstrates good lighting because even though it's black and white, the lighting is not directly in her face causing harsh shadows, even though this was taken at noon. This demonstrates asymmetry because the subject is off center and is telling a story.

1. A Peaceful Vista
2. Mira Mar, Costa Rica
3. This demonstrates  good landscape. There is not one particular subject, there is good color contrast, RoT, and good lighting. There is only a little bit of editing done, only because my camera doesn't do this scenery justice.

1. Wishful thinking
2. El Mojon, Costa Rica
3. This demonstrates a good portrait with good landscape. It also demonstrates asymmetry.
