Portraiture and Studio Photography: Activty 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.
Courtney Ortiz
Dave Hill

Julia Tsoona
Vinit Bhatt






Each of these images show a different vantage point and angle the photographer has used to take the photo. The top left taken from underneath the face and body, top right taken from her side profile, the bottom left taken straight on, and the bottom right taken from above the face and body. Subject placement matters for the bottom right and top left, The person has to be taller or shorter in some way to get these angled shots. The photo taken from underneath has their subject sitting on some sort of ledge or roof higher than the photographer. The one taken from above is of a child, a child being smaller than the adult photographer. The only photo with an obvious change in depth of field is the one in the bottom left, where her face is the only thing in focus and the background is unrecognizable; shallow depth of field. The top right photo of the racer has everything in focus, but most detail is shown on the subject; great depth of field.
