I took a portrait of my friend Ben Keith. I have known Ben since kindergarden and we’ve been great friends ever since. We started swimming for our high school, Skyline almost a month ago and we’re both having a blast! I took this picture at the EMU (Eastern Michigan University) pool during our first high school swim meet. In order to arrange the best possible image, I made Ben stand up against the wall to minimize background noise. I also tried to keep my hand steady so the image would be crisp and clean. I think the lighting in this image is actually pretty good for my first portrait. I also tried to utilize the rule of thirds but I don't think that worked out very well, as he is in the very center of the image. I also think that I did well on the selective focus, as Ben in focused in the image and no one else is.
