academic shoot

balance

1. I followed the rule of balance pretty well. There are two people on either side of the picture and they balance each other out.

2. the subject is the hands on the keyboard.

3. When looking at the picture it is pretty clear that the subject is the hands.

4. It could be clearer if the background was simpler.

framing

1. I followed the rule of framing well. The bowl is framed by the girl on the left, the table on the bottom and the string on the right.
2. the subject is the string that is being sewed by the hands through the bowl.
3. yes it is clear that the subject is the string that is being sewed by the hands through the bowl.
4 It could be clearer if the there wasn't any yellow in the background and on the table.

lines

1. I could have followed the rule of lines better. there are lines on the table and in the background that lead your eye to the subject but the rule could have been more obvious.
2. the subject is the computer closest to the camera.
3. yes it is clear that the subject is the computer because it takes up the picture and is in focus.
4. I could have included the rule of lines better by having more lines in the background that lead your eye to the subject.

rule of thirds

1. I followed the rule of thirds well. the baseball that is being painted is ini the upper left third of the photo.
2. the subject is the baseball that is being painted
3. It is clear that the baseball is the subject, but if the background was simpler and the ball was in better focus then it would be more obvious what the subject is.

simplicity

1. The rule of simplicity is shown in their photo because the background is simple.
2.the subject is the hands working with the clay.
3. yes it is clear what the subject is.
