The girl in this image is me; therefore it is a self portrait! I took this picture on the green after school. Taking self portraits was an assignment because it is important to learn how to take one correctly rather than using your arm and taking it because that deforms your image. I took this image by stacking up backpacks, then placing two textbooks on either side of my camera so as to elevate it and hold it steady. I set the camera to self timer. I then chose the most clear and focused shot. This picture illustrates value because I am wearing quite dark clothing, while the background is very bright. Emphasis is shown because I included the background, but made myself appear larger so that the eye would automatically focus on me.
