3. This portrait follows the rule of thirds with the hands and nose of the model sitting on the right hand third. It has been taken very close to the model with a large aperture (f2.8?) to blur the background 3Creative Media Production 2010

4. There is good eye contact on this mid shot. It has strong side lighting coming in from the left of the picture The background is simple so that the focus remains on the model. 4Creative Media Production 2010

5. This picture uses a more interesting background There is clear eye contact wide the model A small depth of field has been used again so the background and the models hand are not in focus and do not distract you from the models face. 5Creative Media Production 2010
