This exercise has taught me the importance on depth of field, rule of thirds, and lighting. In future I will most likely use what I have learned to impact my photoshoots through the proper and effective use of these three features. Depth of field and rule of thirds are both useful to help push focus of the reader onto or away from an element of the image. Proper use of lighting will allow me to accentuate certain aspects of the image, which can also help draw focus.
