Christmas Composition

The main subject and focus (Santa in the top and the snowman in the bottom photograph) are placed in the golden ratio or golden section to draw the viewers eye. To achieve this specific lighting and preserve the main light source of the candles I dimmed the living room lights. The additional light was needed to keep the shutter speed and with it the exposure time short to avoid camera shack and blur. The goal was to preserve the atmosphere and keep its reddish tint of the scene in the photographs. In able to highlight Santa and the snowman further and create depth the background is blurred slightly in these still life's. Merry Christmas!
