Whilst researching 'Fantasy' photography, the first examples I came across were those of Legend Photography's work.
Legend Photography is a photography studio that does a lot of 'Fantasy' photography... photography. The work they have up for examples on their website demonstrates their forte of portrait photography, which is a style that I am considering experimenting with.
This image's focal point is in the centre of the Rule of Thirds grid, with the head of the model aligning with the upper horizontal line. This is conventional framing for portrait photographs as it draws all focus to the subject. The lighting is quite dark and low-key, creating a faded look around the edges -- this, again, draws attention to the model, which is important in portrait photography. The faded effect, and the darkness of this image also builds an atmosphere of mystery, linking with the 'Fantasy' theme. Combining with this, the Moon in the background, which will have been added digitally in software such as Photoshop, provides a gentle glow. To make the model look more fantastical, a mermaid costume has been used.
