depth of field

With depth of field it is very important that you create the best effects you can so that your main focus is only on one thing. Instead of having loads of things crammed into a background make it blurred so that when we look at the photo our eye is drawn into the main aspect. This photo shows us this.

definition: Depth of field is the distance between the nearest and furthest object that appears in the photograph. The nearest object is sharp and clear and is the main focus whereas the background is blurry but still visible.

Factual: This photo is by the American photographer Annie Liebovitz. It is a retaken scene from the Disney movie Cinderella.

Context: This photo is of Scarlett Johansson. By her dress we can see that she has just been to a ball. In this photo we cant see where she is going to so this makes us think where she may be heading?

Aesthetics: In this photo the steps make the photo look like it has a very deep depth of field because they look like they are never ending. 

Technique: In this photo i don't think that Scarlett is actually in this photo i think it is just a backdrop because the background looks animated  I think this photo has been photo shopped because it looks very clear and sharp just to be taken by a camera.

lighting

-annie liebowitz

The use of lighting in a photo can either decide whether the photo will be terrible or brilliant. Making lighting on a photo depends on how you use your camera. Your camera will use the built in light meter and measuring how much light is being reflected to the camera. If the lighting is totally wrong, then the photo may look completely wrong and the light might reflect off all the wrong places. However, as i said it can make a photo look brilliant but only if the light reflects of the right places and shines on to the correct places then you will get a great photo

factual: the photographer is annie liebowitz, and it was taken in 1980, and the women standing there is Scarlett hohanssen.

this photo is a great case of lighting because it shines right upon her and it reflects in the shadows on her dress
context: this is a full body shot, and its even included whats in the background. its very detailed and just a very simple photo.
technique: i think this was taking outside a palace or a castle at night. and that they have edited the lights even brighter and he same with her dress. and they've darkened the stairs and trees. so you are intrigued to look right at her.
aesthetics: i really like this photo because the light stands out. its mainly all bright and she looks like a princess,like she is the star of a show.

focal point

-annie leibovits

Definition: Focal point is where the object or person is the main point of interest so when someone looks at the photo this is what they are drawn to first. The focal point of a camera lens is the distance where subjects in front of the lens appear to be in sharp focus.

Factual: This photo was taken by anne leibovits.

Context: This photo was taken of a woman. Annie photographed her as a princess and to make her stand out.

Technique: In this photo i think that it also has a back drop because of how she stands out, she has been placed where she is easily noticed and so you will look at her straight away.

Aesthetics: I really like this photo because shes bright and elegant. the background is just lights with a kind of yellow goldish tint from the lights.

This website is very useful because it tells you what focal point is and how you can change it.

composition

-Vee Speers

Composition on a photography can be very important. There are lots of different types of composition.

Description: composition means the  way in which the photograph is set out and there are different types of composition. It is the arrangement of elements and their relationships to the background of an image.
Rules of photo composition:

• The rule of thirds
• The golden section

Factual: This photo is by the famous photographer vee speers

Context: This photo is set in a studio. There isn't much in the room only the girl she is standing in the place where your eye naturally spots first. As he is reaching up, it makes us want to see what he may be reaching to and the photo stands out even more. In this photo of he girl isn't looking towards the camera, which as I said makes us think what he met be reaching to or what he might be able to see.

Technique: I think this photo was taken just in front of a plain black background. vee obviously used an effect to make it black and white but he might not have because the photo was taken in 1967 so photos may of came out black and white naturally. The camera is facing down towards the girl so vee obviously wanted us to think maybe there was more to the photo than we think.

Aesthetics: I really like this photo because as it is black and white I think it gives us more to think about. As the camera is facing down towards him, it looks like he is reaching out to the photographer. In this photo even though it is plain I think it tells us a lot about how Henry was feeling and that he was trying to get something across to us.
