Mise En Scene
Whilst I like this photo, I think there are improvements and enhancements that would make this photo better. The setting of this photo is a local quarry / path that is often visited by my family, which is why I wanted to capture this as it looked more natural and at home. however, there is a cyclist in the background that can draw attention away from the two main focus' of the photo. The lighting used in this photo is natural lighting, and the expressions in the this photo are smiles, which are natural portraying genuine happiness. The costumes in this photo are nothing unique or intentional, it just happens to be what my parents wore that day, not that I believe this takes anything away from the photo but, in the future, I could return to this location to take photo's, and have the models wear something you would expect to wear in an environment such as this. There are no props involved.
This photo was improved by adding higher contrasts and brightening the photo to really enhance the sunny day that it was; to add binary opposition I placed the words "Rainy Night" on the photo to make it more interesting and intriguing. The cyclist that I was concerned drew the attention away from the two main people was photo shopped out using my cloning skills; I cloned the grass from elsewhere and placed it where it would be if there were no one there, and then I added in the path, and shadows from the trees. I didn't want to crop the photo as people needed to be able to see the background for the words I placed to have the full effect. Over all, I think this photo has been improved.
