I have placed Nathan above the camera, taking up most of the shot. This shows that Nathan has power as the camera is looking up at him from a low angle. Nathan is also the dominant subject in the shot, taking up a lot of the picture. I like the angle that the camera is at when the photo was taken because you get the full view of what Nathan is doing, the combined low angle and Nathan looking away from the camera makes this shot seem more dramatic.
(This next one isn’t a picture from a camera, instead it’s a screenshot from a game that I took.)



The way this picture has been framed you can clearly see the balance of power between these two people and how significant they are. The camera shot used is a two shot, from this you can tell that they are some how connected, they cannot be socially connected as the man in purple is in the foreground and the man in the back is further in the background. The positioning of the two people also highlights which one is more powerful. The man in the purple armour is more authoritative because of his placement in the shot, he is placed in the foreground with the camera below eye level looking up at him making him seem much bigger and more influential in contrast to the other man. Another way you can tell is by looking at the clothes they are wearing, the man in the background is wearing plain beige armour and helmet, this could suggest he is a grunt or conscript with little to no authority. However the man in the foreground is wearing purple/black armour with muscle definition and a matching helmet, the purple colour advocates that this person is enigmatic and possibly has supernatural abilities. The helmet supports this by showing that he is faceless, an anonymous hero/anti-hero. The armour muscle definition also shows he has power by showing the audience how resilient and strong he is, unlike the person following who's clothes have no muscle definition.
