Family Portraits
My favorite picture is the fourth picture, showing my dog, Ally, standing in the hallway. I selected to photograph my dog Ally. Ally had just came back from the groomers and always prances down the hallway to show off. I was laying on the floor of the hallway while she walked back and forth. In this photo I imagine her saying something like "I am proud and I am pretty!" Her neck extended and the appearance of long legs makes her seem proud and tall. The point of view greatly impacts this photograph. If I was not laying on the ground with my camera pointed up, the would not have captured Ally's personality. The background is interesting because of the composition. The way I angled my camera, the door frames are all angling back and up towards the ceiling. A very unique view point is what is successful about this shot. Also, the lighting helps give a contrast between the dark shadows under her chin and her light fur on the top of her body.
