My Facebook profile picture is a
picture of my boyfriend, Adam, and me. This picture of us was taken on a
beach in Nantucket. We went on vacation there last summer for a week and it was
absolutely beautiful. The picture was taken on the beach at sunset. The setting
tells the viewers that I enjoy the beach. The water in the back looks fairly
calm. The sun is falling into the ocean, making the sky vibrant colors. The
sand beneath our feet looks inviting as if you want to stick your toes in the
sand. Instead of posing for the camera it was a “candid” photo making it more
easy going to match the background.
An amateur
took this photo. Following the article about amateur’s breaking the rule about
photography, this is a perfect example. Photographers have been taught to
always put the subject in the center. In this picture, taken by my boyfriend’s
brother, we are off center. The amateur aspect captured us in the moment. He
took many pictures and caught us laughing and talking in this particular one. By
doing this he was able to capture many different aspects they may have been
missed by a professional who sets up a posed picture.
The mood of
the picture is happy. An onlooker would assume an endearing relationship
between my boyfriend and I. It can be seen that we care about each other and
are interested in each other more than our surroundings. It also says that the
boy, assumed to be my boyfriend, and I are happy.
People that
appear in other people’s profile pictures on Facebook are usually important to
that person. They are important enough to be seen representing their profile
and activity on Facebook. This holds true for my picture. As any viewer can
infer from this picture, my boyfriend means a lot to me.
The basic
outline of this picture’s reflection of myself is, I am an easy going, happy,
endearing person who has a boy I care about.
