Forced perspective

For this photography task we had to use forced perspective and a large depth of field to make it look like someone is smaller than the other. We used a smaller f-stop and had the people stand far away from the camera. The person sitting on the floor was really far back to make them look smaller than the person stepping on them.

I like this photo as the camera was at the right angle to make it look like the bigger person was stepping on the smaller person. The photo had good lighting and was clear. To improve we could have taken it on grass so the lines on the ground didn’t show how far away the person actually was. We could have also taken the photo where the background was less distracting. Overall, this was a good photo but could have been improved by changing the location.

Little people photo

For this photography task, we had to use little toys to take a picture that looked a realistic size. I chose this photo as it is creative and it has good lighting. To get this photo we had to use little toys and set them up so it looks like reality. We used a small F-stop to create a small depth of field making the toys look bigger. To get this photo we put the little toy in the water to make it look like someone was canoeing in a lake. We experimented with different toys and backgrounds I like this photo as it is good quality and has a creative background making it look realistic. To improve this photo I could have taken it from a different angle to remove the shadow or made the shadow look more like a cliff. Overall, I think this is a successful photo.

Light graffiti photo

For this photography task we experimented with camera settings and lights to capture the moving lights in the still image. I chose this photo as it is clear and has a creative light pattern. To get this photo we had to make the room as dark as possible and use torches to make the light graffiti affect. We used a slow shutter speed to capture the movement over a long period of time. While holding the button down we used the torches to draw around the model and then moved to the other side of the frame to draw the other apparition. I liked this photo as it tells a story and experiments with both movement and light. To improve we could have made the background darker so it was less distracting and the devil and angel more visible by staying in one spot for longer.

Levitating photo

For this photography task we had to take a photo which had the affect that someone was levitating. We did this by using a high shutter speed to capture the person jumping in the air. I chose this photo as it is clear and shows the model levitating off the ground. I like this photo as it is not obvious that the person is jumping and gives off the affect that she is being pushed off the ground. I also like that the people are positioned in the middle of the frame and it has good lighting. To improve this photo I could have made the model levitate higher so it is more obvious she is off the ground and made it more creative.
