Assignment Example

A few people have been unsure as to what is expected for the Blog/ Visual Diary task. See an example of an entry below:



This photograph by Sally Mann is an example of the rule of thirds. The focus of the photo is the young girl, holding a cigarette and looking at the camera. She stands where the horizontal and vertical axis intersect. Together with the use of light, her positioning creates a powerful image. I found this photo moving. Her placement in the frame draws attention to her stance, the expression on her face and the cigarette, all things that are the opposite of someone her age. They belong to that of an adult not a 10 year old.
