How a Good Picture can Easily Be Ruined

So once again our class went on assignment, but this time a challenge came along with the pictures we had to take. Other than this time it had to be a portrait, which was hard enough on its own, we also had to take two different versions of one picture. For the correct one the white balance had to be on shade, but as you can see there is also a blue picture and that is because we had to switch the white balance to Incandescent. A portrait is difficult on its own because if you think you have a good picture that is artistic, the one being photographed may not see the same thing the photographer sees. It is the photographers job on the other hand to tell the "model" where to move and how to pose. Also simplifying the background made this photo easier on the eye concentrating only on the model.
