Rule of thirds – The player is the vocal point of the image as he is in the centre.

The player is the main subject but the people in the crowd are still subjects as they're in focus.

Framing – Framed so it shows the main subject at the front of the image with his fans surrounding him.

Lighting – The photo is an action shot at a stadium so the light used in the image is natural light from the flood lights as the photographer doesn’t have any control over them.

Rule of Thirds – The women’s face is in the middle box of the Rule of Thirds.

Camera angle – The angle used in this photo is an eye level camera angle to make her stand out to the audience as she's looking at you.

The main and only subject of the photo is the women. Framing – Framed so the women is up close and in

focus along with a plain background to make her stand out as much as possible.

The photo has a shallow depth of field as she is fully in focus whereas the background and parts of her hair are blurry. This is done because the background has zero importance, the photo is all about her.

Lighting – The lighting in this photo is non-natural light as the photo was taken in a studio with manual lights. You can tell this as a studio background is used and the light is perfectly lighting her up.

Meaning – The meaning of this photo is to show that as she is doing different movies and playing different roles she is changing herself every time.

Shutter Speed – In this photo the women's hair is moving by what will probably be a wind machine as the photo was shot in a studio. She will also be moving her face around with her hands to get a various amount of different shots. The photo was taken with a fast shutter speed as even though various parts of her face and head is moving she is still very much in focus and not fully blurred out.

Rule of Thirds – Leonardo Di Caprio and the animal are on the right side of the photo in the 3 boxes going down that side.

Camera angle – The angle used in this photo is a high angle to make Leo look scared and innocent.

There are two subjects in this photo, the main subject is Leo as he's giving direct address to the camera. Then he's holding an animal which makes it the second subject of the image.

Framing – The photo is framed so even though the subjects aren't in the centre of the photo they still stand out massively.

The photo has a shallow depth of field as Leo and the animal are fully in focus whereas all the grass in the background is out of focus.

Lighting – This photo is black and white but you can still see that the light used for this photo was natural light from the sun. You can see that the two subjects and half of the image is bright but then towards the bottom left of the image is dark.

Meaning – The meaning of this photo is to show Leo looking after the upset animal by hugging it and by the animal looking depressed this makes Leo look depressed, this makes them look weak and vulnerable.

Shutter Speed – In this photo it is clearly windy as you can see that the grass is moving in the background, also as Leo is holding a wild animal that could easily be moving while he holds it which shows that a fast shutter speed was used while taking this photo.

Rule of Thirds – There are two subjects in this photo, one is in the boxes going down the left and the other is in the boxes going down the right.

Camera angle – The angle used in this photo is an eye level camera angle to make her look equal to the audience.

Although this image is a photo of the same person pulling different facial expressions I believe that there are two different subjects in the photo. When you first look at the image the face on the left stands out to the audience due to her energetic facial expression and as she is up close to the camera, that face is the main subject as it stands out more than anything else in the image. Then the photo on the right is the second subject as it has minimal expression and is just a sad face.

Framing – The photo is framed so that the face on the left stands out and is the vocal point of the image.

The photo has a shallow depth of field as the subjects are fully in focus meanwhile the background is blurry.

Lighting – This photo has soft lighting as there is minimal shade on her face, she is pretty much fully lit up. This tells me that this photo was definitely taken in a studio with studio lights.

Meaning – The meaning of this image is to show to different human emotions, happy and exited on the left, then on the right sad and depressed.

Shutter Speed – In this photo the subject will have clearly been moving her face around pulling different facial expression through the photoshoot so as her face is fully in focus a fast shutter speed was used.

In this photo there are two subjects which are the dog and the man. The man is the main subject as he has direct address with the camera and he is higher up than the dog. The dog is then the second subject as it is lower than the man and is looking upwards towards him which tells the audience that the man has a larger importance than the dog in this photo.

Camera angle – The angle of this photo is a slightly low angle to make the subjects seem amazing and intimidating to the audience.

In this photo the two women are the only subjects in the photo. The main subject is the women on the right as she's closer to the camera. Although they both have direct address with the camera the women on the left is further back so she's the second subject.
