Legs
My intension with this image was to show the line of her legs against the cabinet. I employed the following art elements and design principles: line, contrast, rule of thirds, and texture. I think the contrast from the floor and her white shirt stand out against the jeans and wood cabinet. I have manipulated balance by placing the legs on the right side of the frame and the negative space on the left side (the cabinet) which also has line and contrast. I couldn’t seem to fix the little black line on the bottom right side of the frame because if I cropped it anymore, her butt would get cropped out. I feel really happy with this image, it turned out how I expected and I feel it is a good example of the photography I prefer. If I were to shoot this image again I would probably place her against a different background to create a different effect. And also make sure I would be able to fix the black line on the side. Overall I’m very happy with how this photo turned out.

A contemporary approach to photography Ellen- shooting a person from an uncommon perspective, but your emphasis on the various types of line in the frame is what makes it work. Well exposed and printed also.
