Unit 8 Activity 2

Activity 2
Find four portraits that demonstrate the different ways a photographer has framed the image to alter the design and content. Discuss the vantage point, depth of field and subject placement in all of the images.





All of these images are great examples of how the photographers framed the subjects in unique ways. The vantage point in the first photo is straight on the subject and close to the subject's face while the second photo was taken more above the subject. In the third photo, the vantage point is further away from the subject and is facing the left side. The last photo's vantage point is far from the subject and in the center. The first photo also has a shallow depth of field because the background is blurred while the second photo has great depth of field because the girl and the background are both clear. The third photo also has great depth of field because everything in the photograph is clear. And there is shallow depth of field in the fourth picture. I really like these pictures because of the many ways the photographers placed the subjects. These subjects are placed in the center, on the sides, and even placed in the center but they're facing a different direction. The overall ideas of the pictures are altered once you see how everything is placed in them.
