This photo was taken in color, and the photo was edited to black and white. I also used a vignette setting, which darkened the outer corners. The light background contrasts with the dark borders. The photo was taken with no flash, and from a low angle. It was cropped so that there was no unnecessary lines or shadows. 

This photo was also taken in color. Then the contrast was adjusted, it was cropped, and the edges were blurred. It was also edited to black and white settings. The subjects face is the main focus, and it is a sharp contrast compared to the background. The picture was taken without a flash, and from an straight ahead angle. 

This photo has a strong background. The green is bright, and it contrasts with Aimee’s eyes.  It could have been cropped better at the elbow, but otherwise the cropping helps centralize Aimee’s face. The color was slightly adjusted to be brighter, but white shirt also helps make it stand out. The photo was taken from a low angle, and both the subject and the background appeal to the eye.
