I used the florescent lights of the classroom to light this photograph. Contrast was the main principle of art I chose to employ; color contrast between the black leather jacket and the peachy skin tone. Compositionally, the zipper on the jacket was meant to lead the viewer's eye down to the bracelet, and then the ring. In photoshop, I heightened the contrast and corrected the photographs hue.
With the florescent lights as the key lighting, I focused on shape as the element of design for the second photograph. Specifically, the shape of her hands, the circles stitched on the sleeves, the circles printed on the backpack, and the shape of the phone. The lines of her arms and the phone chord lead the viewer's eye to the bracelets on her wrist and the ring. I fixed the tone and contrast in photoshop.
I liked the texture of the sweater, and of the jean fabric, contrasted against the smoother texture of the skin. The florescent lighting helped to emphasize the jewelry, since it caught the light. I underexposed the photo when I took it in the classroom, then increased the brightness in photoshop. In addition, I altered the hue of the photograph, so there was more blue in the subject than red.
The florescent lights created a highlight on the ring, the main focal point. I focused on line as the main element of art, because the lines of the hand and fingers causes the viewer's eye to travel up from the bottom left corner of the photo to the middle. In photoshop, I increased the contrast, cropped the photo slightly, and played with the color saturation.
