These photos were taken on a point-and-shoot camera when I had a lot of interest in, but very limited knowledge of, photography techniques. Looking back through the photos it was obvious that I was playing with ideas of composition (although I hadn’t learned even the rule of thirds yet) and that I was trying different lighting ideas (although I didn’t have any options beyond the sunlight and the on-camera flash). None of these photos have been edited or even cropped – they are straight off the camera I took them on.
