Focal Point: John Hedgecoe

A focal point is the part of an image that draws the eye of a viewer to the most important part of the image or the area that you want to highlight. How you do this will make or break the final image. If you don’t know how to create this point then you will not achieve much in your photography.

In this photo, in my opinion the main interest or activity is the woman sitting on the chair. She is the only person in the photograph so you notice her when you first look at the photo which is the Focal point.

In this photograph, the man is the focal point, because he is the closest in the picture and the light shines on him. Also the writing behind him To me is pretty eye catching. Its like the photo has a meaning.
