I'm researching photos that have used lit candles and thinking of using the candle light to give the shadows, the flame can represent my brother who had a bigger part in my grandparents lives, i can work it to make it somewhat over powering. I will take a few test shots next week to se if it works and if it doesn't i will go back to using my phone light but still bring my mona lisa watch into it. i haven't as of yet finished my board because i was unsure about using the candles and i knew that if i leave it any later in my board it will look out of place if it even works at all. I am going to get some other photos of my nana, one that my mum put in a frame that sort of looks like a daguerreotype, it is an oval which will also relate to the oval mono lisa broach, and the shadow from the very first photo on my board how the shadows is circular sort of. then i can start going into the more vintage type of photos, as the photos do look quite old.

I can only find one photo that uses rule of thirds that I can use right now, it is the closest thing that uses rule of thirds that I can see. The edge of the wall is on the bottom line (roughly) and the glasses are on an intersection. I will try use rule of thirds more in my work from now on.
