For my photo essay I chose to take pictures of my boyfriend Cody because he is someone I care about and i love his smile, even though it took me a long time for him to actually let me take pictures of him they ended up coming out really great portraits of him. In all of my photos I took are very close up to Cody. What I liked about my photos are the fact that he is the main clear focus and everything else around him looks blurred out, he is the main aspect of all ten pictures in my photo essay. I did have to crop some photos to crop out things in the back that I did not like to look at in the photo as a whole but mostly anything in the background is blurred out and like I said he is the main focus. On some of my pictures of Cody I had to brighten up the brightness and ass more contrast to the photos. Overall all my images came out very clear and you can tell that he is the main focus rather than everything else behind him which is blurred out.
