Birds and worms

For this photography task, we had to experiment with different camera angles. We had to choose our best photo taken from above and one from below.

For my worm photo, I like how the red flowers stand out from the background and are the main focus. They are positioned towards the left of the photo to make it look more aesthetically pleasing. I would improve this photo by adjusting the amount of light in the top around the leaves.

For my bird photo, I like how the background is a dark colour and is blurred so the flowers stand out. I could improve this photo by focusing on the flowers to make them less blurry and more to focus on the detail.

A low angle makes the object you are photographing seem big and superior to you. The angle makes you look up to the object making you feel small and can be used to show who is in control. A high angle can make the object seem small and insignificant which makes the camera seem in control. These angles can be used in movies to make the characters seem submissive or aggressive.

Faceless Portrait

In photography class, we had to take a faceless portrait. While taking this photo we had to think about everything that would affect the outcome such as background, lighting, positioning and focus. I chose to take the photo with a simple background so that the person stands out and is the center of attention. I positioned the person using rule of thirds to make the photo seem more interesting.

I like the lighting in the photo as it makes the background more interesting but isn’t too distracting. I also like how I used rule of thirds and positioning in the photo, I could improve this photo by using more creativity with how I covered the face and framing the face.
