Candi is my dog and my best non-human friend. She is a mix of many types of dogs. Candi is very loving. We picked her out from an animal shelter in Fenton. We chose her, and our cousins chose her brother. I photographed Candi in our yard. She loves chasing squirrels, watching me mow the lawn, and playing with other dogs that come by our yard. This portrait shows the driveway where she loves to come and greet our family when we come home. It also shows the grass where Candi plays with other dogs. It was very fun to try taking photographs from different angles and trying to get the lighting I needed to make the photographs look clear. I used formal balance to put my subject directly in the middle of the thirds of the photograph. That way people will focus more on the image. I also chose to set up a background that did not distract the viewer from seeing the main subject.
