Week 2- Vantage point, fore/mid and Background

f/1.8  1/400  ISO100

 This is one of my favourite Fore,Mid and Background photos. As you can see the fore ground is out of focus and Tracy who is in mid ground is in focus and then the background is out of focus. I love how the focus on Tracey is very sharp and crisp. I really like the compositing in the photo, I like how she is standing directly under the bottle art and how the Tree trunk and the pole mirror each other. I feel like the over exposed background works really well in this photograph because it contrasts with Tracy's dark clothing making her stand out more.

Heres another photograph where the Mid ground is in focus and the Fore and Back ground are out of focus. I feel like there is too much going on in the photo and I don't like how you can't see the mans hand behind the pole. Maybe if he was centred this photo could have been more successful.

f/1.8  1/400  ISO100

Here's a good example of a foreground photograph as you can see Karen and Denise are in focus then Caryline is in a softer focus and then the background is completely out of focus. I like how i've captured the two different conversations maybe if i had stepped back and did not get such a close crop the photo would have been not as intense with two different things happening.

Self Directed- Vantage point

Personally I really like this photo because of the lighting and how the colours in his top contrast with the green background. If I had shot this photograph from a lower angle he wouldn't  have looked as small and his top would have stood out even more against the darker green hedge. But because Shev is a small built guy anyways i don't know if it would have made much of a difference photographing him from below. I feel photographing from above is a very flattering way to photograph, especially for girls. 

Low Vantage point- f/40  1/80  ISO 100

High Vantage point- f/4.0  1/80  ISO100

These two photos are the perfect example of how a lower angle makes a man look stronger and a higher angle makes a girl look thinner. As you can see my model Mo'e looks more muscly and wider in  the shoulder compared to the bottom photograph where he looks thinner and his face looks longer.
