The Design

About Dramatic Photography

Dramatic photography has been taken by the minimum light that is everywhere every day. Next, it was changed the color to black and white by using the software with the computer. And it was changed the exposure to stir people's image. Lastly, it was trimmed from the rectangle to the square to eliminate waste and to constitute the balance of the light and people.
