Picture 1

 Negative VS Positive

The use of negative space in this photo is very affective as it surrouds the positive space in darkness.
The darkness represents the negativity(bad) of the photo and the bright light used shows the positivity (good) shining through.
To take this photograph we used a very slow shutter spead, and I asked Racheol to dance around with the lights, which allowed to to capture the light in mid wave.

I like the use of light within this photo because it really shows how goodness is powering through and lighting up your way.
The positive and negative space are very nicely balanced against each other.
This photo works nicely with the rule of thrid. If Rachel was placed in the centre of this photo, it may have had an awkward affect. However, the slightness to the right, with the hand held light held towards the right give a nice affect which compliments the eye.

Picture 3

I LOVE how the light turned out in this picture. By bringing the light in an upwards direction on a slow sutter spead, we were able to come out with this picture. It shows the light being dragged upwards and creating this sort of wave affect. I like this because it plays with the idea of our theme 'Positive VS Negative' as an idea of the goodness being dragged through the darknessm trying to shine through. Also this picture uses the rule of postivre and negative space really well, showing very clear what the focus of the picture is.

Picture 5

 Picture 4 & 5 use the rule of frame really nicely. Effortlessly we were able to frame out positive space (Rachel) through the use of on site hand held lights. Especially Picture 5 where you can clearly see how she is being framed. The camera captured these pictures seconds apart, and gave two very different ambience's. The first almost created a mist around the postive space. It blurs out the negative space and created an un focused almost angelic affect. Picture 5 I think fits our theme more as you can clearly see the difference between the positive and negative aspects as the negative space becomes much more clear to the viewer.  One light we used had an orange filter over, and the other was white. This helped to create two different contrasts between the top and bottom of the screen, helping to frame the positive space of the picture.

 The use of lighting within these photos suggest the positivity is over powering. The darkness can not really be seen as there is a white angelic overall affect.
