Sure, you’ve seen the memes, and you probably know them by name, but can you identify them by their… background?
Andy Baio from Waxy.org has created a project called Meme Scenery where he takes the most popular viral videos and strips them of their subjects, leaving just the backgrounds for you to decode.
In all, there are 23 for you to identify, though don’t be surprised if it’s harder than you think. (And if it’s not, maybe it’s time to get out more…)

Well, according to Eric Hamilton, there’s actually a few tricks, and thankfully, he’s nice enough to let you in on some of them in his guide to The Art of Portrait Photography.
Rule number one is proper use of light, though he also mentions subject, focus, background, composition, texture, color, and exposure, with examples of each.
