Experimental Photographs

Research Review

After analyzing 12 different photograph, all including the decay theme but using it in different ways, I learned different techniques and skills. I found out about the depth of field in a photograph and how it effects the image by drawing the viewers eye through to the focus point. This is a good way of manipulating a photograph and the viewer to what you want them to see in the image. I also learned about framing and how important this is in making a picture look professional. The way you frame a picture influences the way that someone looks at it, the way the viewer moves through the picture. For example, there could be the main body of the object slightly off centre but then reaching up towards the centre of the image and towards the top, this would make the viewer move around the whole photo taking in different aspects, not just look at one spot in middle. Angles are just as important to framing as they can create a huge difference in the feeling you get from a photograph, a low angle shot looking up to something can make it look intimidating, whereas a high angle shot can make the object look intimidated and less superior.  There is also many different warmth's to each photo, some are cold looking with a blue or black and white hue to it, others have a more warm feel with a orange or brown hue.
