My Favorite Photo

The photo is an above image of a boy sitting in a library with books surrounding him as he reads. It is a black and white image, and the details of the boy's hair is very defined. Some of the books in front of the boy are opened as if he was flipping through the pages, but other books are closed, and the titles are visible. The photo is called "Junior Year".

1. I picked this photo because I like the feel of it, I can relate to it. seeing the titles of the books the boy is looking through, I know he's studying for the SAT's. I'm not a junior yet, but I know the stress of studying for important tests.

2. Right away I noticed the rules of photography in the image. Framing is evident, since the book shelves seem to be sheltering the student. Simplicity is represented since the boy seems to be the center of attention, and his presence is focused on. The Rule of Thirds makes an appearance in the angle of the image, a view from above. Many shapes are formed in the position of the books in contrast to one another.


1. I think I could take photos in the library and in a science lab to take shots similar to the ones on the website.
2. I'd like to visit Mr. Mayfield's class and observe the labs his students do.
3. In order to get the best photo result, I will use all of the rules of photography to earn a good product.
