The subject of the photos above is my best friend of 11 years, Vanessa. She sticks with me and supports me through everything and she means the world to me. Although she constantly denies it, Vanessa is incredibly photogenic and I love taking photos for her. These photos were taken in Orlando, Florida and the natural lighting really adds to them. Some of the background elements are placed using the Rule of Thirds to make the movement of the eyes more smooth. I opted to center in the photos since the backgrounds are decently busy. I feel that it really highlights her as the subject with backgrounds that are interesting on their own, yet still blend in nicely.
