The lighting creates a glare in the lens of the camera that gives a cool effect to the photo while the grass's color is brightened from the sunlight.

__**Jodi Cobb**__ Jodi Cobb is a free lance photographer for National Geographic and is based in Washington D.C

__**Slavery**__ Jodi travels to third world countries to expose 21st century slavery and make us think carefully about our human condition in this increasingly interconnected world.This is an example of child slavery in a sweatshop in India. Jodi uses her camera to bring attention to these important subjects by capturing meaningful photos. In this photo she uses the strings of fabric to her advantage and incorporates the rule of thirds into the photo ,which also makes an allusion of the boys being trapped in the sweatshops like a prison they want to get out of.The lighting is dim and chances are the light is coming from outside due to the lack of electricity in these countries.

__**Child Worker**__ This photo was taken in a junkyard in the slums of Africa where children are forced to work for little pay and in dangerous environments with literally no protection but rags to prevent any sort of injury. The lighting is from outside and it reflects the boys sweat on his face from working hard in these conditions. The empty of space of dirt on the left, with the boy on the right welding is the rule of thirds.
