(Okay, I'll go with this composition...)

(I just need to adjust the aperture and set the exposure to...about this much.)

I got it, An.

This is how it turned out...

Wow, that's amazing!

You could totally turn this into a movie poster.

Hehe. I tried getting a little creative with the composition.

Anyway, next... Why don't we try both taking one, An?

Yeah! Show me the way, Ms. Kohane!

O-Okay. I'll try my best to make things easy to understand.

Still, An, you really surprised me when you said that you wanted to learn more about photography.

Haha. I wanted to learn how to take better pictures since I've been going by feel until now.

Okay. You'll start taking good ones right away once you've gotten the hang of a couple things.

Starting with the rule of thirds.

The rule of thirds?

It's a technique that involves laying a three-by-three grid over what you see. The idea is to align your subject to those lines.

By doing so, it becomes easier to take balanced photos.

I see. That explains why it's called the rule of thirds.

*Nod*

There should be a way to get your phone to show those lines.

Wait, it can do that?

Lemme see... Whoa, you're right!

This makes things so much easier.

That just leaves how to use light sources.

The feel of your photo can really change based on where your light source is. A backlight can make things more dramatic, while light from the front can brighten up your image.

Wow! So if you use your light sources properly, you can take photos like a total pro!

Thanks, Kohane!

I'll try taking some pictures using the techniques you just taught me.

Great! I'm sure you'll know what I mean when you actually try it for yourself.

Okay.

Can you stand in front of those plants for me, Kohane?

Umm... Here?

A little more to your left... A little more... Stop! That's perfect!

Alright, this looks good!

Get ready. Smile...!

How'd they turn out, An?

Oh, Kohane, you look extra cute!

You're amazing!

Haha...

No, I think that means you did a good job of taking them.

Oh, can we take another one? This time with a different pose!

Okay. So, what pose would you like me to do?

Oh, I know.

How about the one that clerk taught you?!

U-Umm... Th-This one?

Yeah! You look super cool, Kohane!

Here's how it turned out. What do you think?

The composition looks good and I like the way you used your light source... It is a little embarrassing, though.

Hehehe. You look way too cute!

I'm gonna take so many pictures of you moving forward, Kohane!

Of me?

I've taken a ton of pictures since coming here, but the ones you take are always better. That's been bothering me a bit.

We have the luxury of you being our photographer, and we know you'll take a bunch of great pictures...

Oh...

Do you want to become a better photographer because...?

Yup! I want to learn how to take amazing pictures of you!

An...

Thank you. That's so sweet of you.

So, while we're in the US, I'm gonna be your own personal photographer! And I promise to do a good job!

Hehe. I'm looking forward to seeing what you take, An.
