Reflection:
This class, I got to take Velisa's picture and direct where the lighting should go and how she should pose. I enjoy working as a group to try to help each other out by giving feedback, doing each other's hair and make-up and helping by moving the lights around. 

For my theme, Mr Vinod told me that I should look into doing a theme based on a previous week's "wow factor" pictures. So based off those pictures I decided on the theme "Lines". I played mostly with symmetry and following the rule of thirds closely. I have 20 pictures this week since I have missed previous week's 5 theme based photos.

I found it difficult to place the lighting correctly at first but then I got the hang of it as I tried it hands on while taking Velisa's picture, instead of watching other people do it and following instructions like I did last week.
