Vee Spears

This photograph has lighting covering all the shot and not in onr sespific place.

There are no shadows and no dark patches on the shot.

"Lighting or illumination is the deliberate application of light to achieve some practical or aesthetic effect"(wiki).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighting

>ASSINMENT 3 DEPTH OF FIELD

John Hedgecoe

This photo shows depth of field as there is a model in the foreground and two walls in the background.

the walls arein focus as well as the man so the field of depth is quite large as most of the photo is in focus.

"depth of field (DOF) is the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image"(wiki).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_field

>FOCAL POINT

Annie liebovitz

The focal point of this photograph is the center where the model is placed. Mainley due to the fact that the model is the only main thing in the photo, and due to the building behind going to a focus point.

"a Focal Point focuses specifically on a point of interest which makes a canvas unique"(wiki).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_point

>COMPOSITION

john hedgecoe.

the composition in this photograph,i feel, is good because of the placement of the model.

the eye is first of all draw to the model in the center of the frame, then to the table to their left and to the sofa behind. only on further inspection do you notice the model at the rear of the photo.

"composition is the placement or arrangement of visual elements or ingredients in a work of art"(wiki).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_(visual_arts)
