The artist chose photography and used burn and dodge techniques to brighten the background and subjects in the picture. The photo features the artist's best friend from 5th grade and boyfriend known since 7th grade, who are two of her favorite people. If she could change the picture, the artist would tone down the brightness of the background and subjects so they do not stand out as much and would zoom in more on the people to focus attention on them rather than the distracting background bus.

2. Why I chose this artwork
I chose to use photography because
it looks good, I made this picture
using burn and dodge in
photography. I burned the
background and the people in the
picture.

3. The background info.
In the picture are my best
friend from 5th grade and my
boyfriend who I’ve known
since 7th grade. They are two
of my favorite people.

4. If I could change something about this picture it
would be the background and how I made my
friends look in the picture. The background is
really bright and the people in the picture are very
bright too, I would make it so they don’t stand out
so much. And so her teeth aren’t super white and
hard to look at, her teeth and the background bus
take away from most of the picture. I would zoom
in more on them and edit out the background
more, so your focus goes to them and not the bus
in the back.
