My hobby

This photograph was taken in a hip-hop workshop in school. I chose this image because dance is my favorite hobby and I have thought about working in the performing arts doing dance as a career. I think this image is effective because I look really into the movement and as if I'm working hard. I also like the picture because it is slightly off focus on everyone else so makes the image of me stand out. This image also uses the hot spot theory. The teacher (the man in the purple cap) and I are in the main hot spot. He is an important person in the image as he is leading the class and I aspire to be doing this in the near future. We are both the largest images in the photograph. The people appear smaller because of the perspective of the photo. This is a mid shot, although it could be argued it is slightly low angle because everyone in the photo is leaning down so this is to see the people's bodies in the image.
The only criticism I would give this photo is that it is taken in the mirror, so there is a clearly visable line running down the centre of the photo. This is not only distracting but slightly disjoints in the image. However this could not be removed because it was the best place to take the photograph.
