Master Of Photography

Dorothea Lange studied at Columbia University in New York under Clarence H. White between 1917 and 1919, Dorothea Lange started out as an independent portrait In San Francisco. She decided to take pictures of  homeless people in the street to draw attention to their plight. She documented the bitter poverty of migrant workers and their families. In 1935 she joined the Farm Security Administration (FSA). Her work did not only show the hopelessness and despair, but also the pride and dignity with which people endured their circumstances. The most famous and most frequently published photographs of the FSA project is Migrant Worker, the portrait of a Californian migrant worker with her three children. The way the mother looked in the picture described how hard working and worried she was. Sitting by her right side, one of the children which was hitting her face from the camera, seeking protection and care and an infant asleep on her exhausted mother.

what i learned...

The Rule of Thirds:

•  The "rule of thirds" is the easiest technique to apply to take more impressive photographs with a minimum of effort
• Try to imagine dividing the scene in your viewfinder into thirds, both horizontally and vertically
• you mentally superimpose this grid upon your scene and move the subject so that it sits on one of these lines
• Adjust the composition so that the subject falls on one of these lines creates a more interesting picture
• Placing the subject on the intersecting lines creates a much stronger composition
• Its about the lines, not the rectangles
• The rule of thirds is useful when photographing horizons
• Slight composition adjustment, the horizon is pushed up or down depending on the effect you want to achieve
• The closer you are to the subject, the more challenging it is to apply the rule of thirds
• With a close-up portrait, the subject becomes the eyes
• Full-length portrait, the subject stands on the left third line while his face falls on the top third line
• Placing the subject's face on the top and right third lines provides viewers with more context about the image
• By training yourself to compose during the shoot, you will find yourself considering other composition methods as well.
• This composition technique is an excellent way of improving your images
• There are circumstances where you can not, or perhaps should not, apply the rule and just rely on another method of composition.
•  If you habitually center your subject, consciously apply the rule of thirds and your images will improve dramatically
