Photojournalism: Candidates Meeting




I chose this picture because the colours of the background really attracts the audienence's attention. Mr. Frank Valeriote also has excellent facial expression and hand gestures. This photo captures the moment of him trying to prove a strong point. As I was takling the picture, I remember that he was naming a few ways in which Canada's money was being spent. Although some people who see this picture may not have been there to also see him speak, through this picture, they will see how Frank Valeriote spoke strongly about his views.






This picture also shows how Frank Valeriote has great hand gestures and uses it to emphasize what he is trying to say. His hand is in the form of a pointed finger and it shows how he is trying to make a point. His face is also strong and aggressive.




I also liked this photo because his hand is moving towards his face which guides the eye towards the focus of the picture which is Frank Valeriote. It was great tot take pictures of Mr. Valeriote due to the actions, hand gestures, and facial expressions he makes. It helps to enhance the picture and it helps to explain to the audience what happened as he was talking.

  1. Geline, it is really tough to take photos in our gym, especially on the stage without extra lighting. Using our camera at a distance magnifies this issue, so I understand why your images are a bit fuzzy.

    I love that you showed the before and after cropping. It is clear that you understand the power of this process and in each case you improved the image significantly.

    Great job catching interesting gestures. You should work for Mr Valeriote's campaign team:)
