High key Emily
This is another edit for the photoshoot on Sunday with Emily. I’ve actually recropped this image from it’s 8×10 format, where Emily appears in the middle of the frame, so that she now appears off centre. I feel this gives the whole image more impact, added with the fact that Emily is positioned so that her body is facing out of the frame. Now some might complain that you should have positioned the subject in that position to start off with, but a trick I picked up from another website (who’s name I can’t remember at the moment) that suggested instead of worrying about composition you could opt for an alternative approach. This alternative approach is not to waste pixels on empty space such as the area to the left of Emily and instead fill the frame with the subject and then reposition afterwards in photoshop. Again the argument could be made about manipulation isn’t photography, but if you think about it you could do exactly the same in a dark room. Obviously this will only work under certain conditions, such as plain background like the one shown above.
PS. This thumbnail and the reduce image doesn’t do the image justice, at least thats my view.
