Assinment 3... Depth Of Field

Vee Spears



This photograph is part of the "The Birthday Party" they are all shot with one or two modles. They all have a  short depth of field, and ever thing in the frame is in focus. They look like they are shot against an aged wall, it gives the photograph no atmosphere and makes the audience explore the modles in more detail. The whole collection of photos I find monotous.



Depth of field

Noun:
The distance between the nearest and the furthest objects that give an image judged to be in focus in a camera.

Assinment 3... Focal Point...

Vee Speers

This photo is from a large collection of photos by Vee Speers, the theme is "Immortal".  Its a good exsample of focal point , because there are not any obstructions in front of the modle. This makes the eye instantly drawn to the modle. Because the modle is the brightest thing in the photo it also helps to draw in the eye and make the modle look more powerful or strong.
