Welcome to Week Six of the Color, Click Capture Photography Challenge hosted by East9thStreet, A Helicopter Mom, Nap Time Is My Time and Sunshine and Sippy Cups. This week’s color is PINK!
Pink is one of my favorite colors. I love that there are so many shades, and each shade evokes a different emotion for me. Lighter shades of pink remind me of my wedding bouquet. It looked similar to these flowers that The Texan gave me for our anniversary this year.
This week’s photography tip is from Faith Massey. Faith owns and operate Images by Faith Portrait Art, a boutique studio nestled in the Lake Norman area, just outside Charlotte, NC. Her passion for art started early and she explored many different mediums but found her true love in photography after having my first child in 1994. After moving from California in 2004 she opened her studio in Huntersville. As a mother of 5 beautiful children, she is very comfortable working with babies and new parents alike. Her style has been described as natural, refined and unpretentious and she loves to highlight every sweet detail of children,using primarily natural light to capture the soft sweet beauty found in children.
Off center composition…
For those of you who never excelled in art or never even took an art class, this is for you. When photographing, your main subject does not always have to be in the center of the frame. As a matter of fact it is much more aesthetically pleasing to have you subject “off center”. To do this, divide your frame up with imaginary lines into thirds, horizontally and vertically. Your subject should then be placed on one of these thirds or both. For example a sunset horizon should fall on the bottom third or top third of the frame. A child or pet, could be set off to one side, try to get the eyes (the focus point) in to the horizontal frame, so you are using both thirds and making it even more pleasing to look at.

Those pink flowers are SO pretty!
Thank you – they looked exactly like the flowers in my wedding bouquet, too!
Those are beautiful! I love how you were able to capture so many different pinks within those flowers 🙂
What lovely flowers! I really like the pop of contrast between all the varied shades of pink and then the deep green going on with the vase they’re in.
So beautiful! I love that color of pink.
I also love that you call him The Texan, lol. I never noticed that before. 🙂
Those are just gorgeous. What a soft color.
