Balance

I chose the idea of balance because I thought it was interesting to see how the subject and background could work together to create a unifying photograph where the viewer's eye does not have to run around the entire image to feel satisfied. I felt that decreasing the saturation was less distracting for viewers to understand the idea of balance in these photographs. In the first and last picture I tried distancing the darker areas (the black paint in the background, my subjects hair, and her pants) to better balance the photo. In the second picture, I centered my subject between the two contrasting backgrounds: the wood and blue paint.
