What makes a good photo? Is it
the angle, the lighting, the color,
the model, or a mixture of
all of those combined? What
separates a professional picture
from something done by the
average person? Mrs. Toalson,

must take into account the type
of photograph they are using to
affect the composition and texture
of the photo.

media and used the combined styles in
order to create a unique piece.

workspace after taking a picture. It
is a darkroom that allows them to develop
certain types of photographs to get different
qualities and textures out of them. This
allows them to create a different style of
photograph that is unique and appealing.
