Background Middle ground Foreground An investigation by Nelvin AD 20120522
The space percieved as closest to the viewer • THE BRIDGE: • A space to draw inference between the foreground and the background • A popular place to situate objects that are complimentary to and support the main subject • THE FOCUS : • A space for the location of the main subject • A place to situate objects or lines which will lead the eye into the photograph • TO DRAW CONTEXT • DEVELOP A RELATION TO THE SUBJECT • TO DEFINE SCALE AND DEPTJ
Moving a prop in front of the subject • Photographs with depth are much more pleasing to the eye. • Depth adds dimension. Your eyes see in three dimensions, not two
Include a portion of the existing scenery in front of your subject Common mistakes made while taking family pictures is to crop in at the bottom of their legs. Take a step back, include a portion of the ground (or leaves in this case) and the result is more pleasing to the eye.
x Experiment with different points of view
Know your Lensesand what they can do for you And more importantly What can they do for you
Wide Angle As the focal length becomes shorter in a wideangle lens, this perspective difference expands making closely located subjects even bigger and remotely located ones even smaller (exaggerated perspective). What can they do for you
Telephoto Lens As focal lengths become longer, less difference is observed between close and distant subjects, making it appear as if they are closer regardless of the distance between them(compressed perspective).
THE CRITIQUE Find a relationship between a subject in the foreground and a subject in the background by using camera angles to create a new form, shape meaning
BACKGROUND, BACKGROUND, BACKGROUND, BACKG… When framing a shot, pay as much attention to the background as you do your subject
KEEP IT SIMPLE The strongest compositions are ones that get their message across quickly. Look for the building blocks of a great photograph in lines and shapes
PERSONALISE IT Ask yourself what you’re drawn to in a scene – the height of a building, the patterns in a field, the shape of a flower – and bring that element out.
THINK ABOUT NUMBERS Odd numbers of things tend to be visually more exciting than even amounts. Triangles are more dynamic than squares or rectangles, which echo the boundaries of the frame.
