Briefly describe what you looked at on the website (2-3 sentences, make sure you write enough to really make it clear that you spent time looking at the website).
    I learned that's its very important to be confident in yourself at what you do one of the best things is to get to know your model/client because no matter what there always going to be a little awkward at first so its better to "break the ice". then try new things not so cliche type photos because that's what everyone else is doing.

What did you learn new?
one new thing i learned is called negative space. alot of the times people tend to crop because so tight together and sometimes it can not look the best. but by sing negative space you are putting them of center with space around them.

The Oldest Living Things in the World

1.  I chose this photo because I was immediately drawn to it when looking at the website.  I think it's a really interesting photo and I love how you have all this greenery and yet, all of the trees are dead. I also like how you don't see where the staircase leads as I think it adds an air of mystery to the photo.
2.  A rule of photography I see in this photo is lines, the stair case leads your eye up the hill.  Another rule of photography that is apparent in this photo is rule of thirds because the staircase is not in the center of the photo.
3.  This photo was taken by Rachel Sussman.

Model Posing

1.  This website gave tips on how to pose and make it look more natural.  It gave tips for fashion, commercial, and other types of modeling/posing as well.
2.  I learned what different types of posing, angles, and emotions work best for each type of photography.  because many modles dont know exactly what to do when they model its the photographers job to be able to direct the model into what there are suppose to be doing
3.  This site related to photography because it was about posing, if your model can't pose, your photos won't turn out well.  Modeling and posing is a big part of photography. but not the only thing to do.




Spiral Staircases

1.  I chose this photo because I liked the composition of it.  I love the way photos of spiral staircases like this look and I found this one cool because it really reminds me og a shell i got from the beach for some reason.. 
2.  Some rules of photography I see in this photo are simplicity and lines.  The lines of the staircase draw your eyes to the photo. there is also patterns that are apparent in the photo.
3.   photo  taken by German photographer Christian Richter.
