Originally I was going to use this picture to show that this picture was NOT like Alex's. However, once I experimented with it, making it black and white, I realized how it could be transformed. The background picture was of the Drew courtyard and the lines were chalk writing. Although Alex may not have chosen to use a picture with such a busy and unordinary background, but I'm sure she could make it look good. Also, I like how the light in the background seems to be faded, and it's almost like you can't distinguish which objects are in which pictures. The white dots throughout the picture match with the gleam in her eyes, which I thought made it even better. There are many lines in the picture, and lines are used many times throughout Alex's series. 

Benji likes to edit his pictures, and whenever someone else would stop and leave the picture, he would take it a step farther and edit it even more. I added flames to his face rather than the background just to change things up, and used bright unrealistic colors as he would. Also, he doesn't usually use rule of thirds and the subject takes up the entire frame. 

Frankie likes nature in her pictures, and softens the background to make the colors different. I chose this because she looks natural, and her hair is being blown by the wind. She doesn't do many portraits simple with someone's face and them standing there, and it's more of an action shot. 

I chose this of Sebastian because he uses nature in the background, with bright colors. Also, since the background is blurry, it creates a feeling of detachment, almost like the face is on its own. Sebastian's picture's usually have depth to them, with layers that distinguish certain parts from others. 

I chose this of veronica because she takes macro pictures with the use of one major color. Also, she highlights one part of the picture using natural techniques. I highlighted her eyes by putting a filter on. Veronica's pictures are almost always focused and use rule of thirds. 

Ben takes many of his pictures from an angle. They often time aren't focused, which I think provides a unique style. He makes pictures black and white, puts a colored filter on, or doesn't use a filter. The portraits Ben takes are close up, and focused on a face that seems to be in motion. Almost none of the pictures are in the center, and most use rule of thirds (the third being on an unusual part of the picture).
