All photos were taken by students

Deep Depth of Field
![Page 4: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Deep Depth of Field• Usually not used in professional photos• Everything is in equal focus from front to back
![Page 5: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Deep Depth of Field• Everything is in equal focus from front to back• The picture must have a front and back
![Page 6: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Deep Depth of Field• The focus is usually softer throughout• It usually pictures LARGE objects – like
landscapes
![Page 7: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Deep Depth of Field• The picture has no true subject
![Page 8: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Shallow Depth of Field
![Page 10: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Shallow Depth of Field• Part of the forward to back is in focus.
Another part of the photo is out of focus.
![Page 11: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Shallow Depth of Field• It is imperative to note that the front OR the
back may be in focus. The middle may also be the focus point.
![Page 12: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Shallow Depth of Field• Used by most professional photographers.• It is extraordinarily difficult to perform this
technique (but NOT impossible) without using a manual focus camera.

Background Pitfalls• Be wary – especially in deep depth pictures –
of the background. • It may be distracting, or make your subject
look QUITE strange.
Not student photos

High Angle
![Page 18: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
High Angle • Photographer is positioned above subject• Subject usually has space around in photo
![Page 19: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
High Angle • Subjects are usually small, and photo makes
them look even smaller.
![Page 20: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
High Angle • Also brings about feelings of innocence,
peace, relaxation, solitude.
![Page 21: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

animals.
![Page 22: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Low Angle
![Page 23: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Low Angle • Photographer is below subject• Subject usually fills frame from side-to-side
![Page 24: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Low Angle • Subjects can extend beyond the frame of
photo
![Page 25: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Low Angle • Subjects are usually large, or meant to seem
even larger
![Page 26: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Low Angle • Brings about feelings of dominance, strength,
chaos, controlling
![Page 27: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Tilted Composition• Turns the camera a few degrees to one side
![Page 31: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Tilted Composition• BIG angles are easy to see and cause greater
discomfort and chaos• Smaller angles can be very subtle, and almost
unnoticeable.

Subject Positioning• Subject positioning adds interest to the photo
by placing the subject to one side
![Page 36: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

to one side
![Page 37: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Subject Positioning• Nearly all professional photos use subject
positioning
![Page 38: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

![Page 39: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Nose Room• Change composition to position subject to the
left or right of the frame• Subject travels toward the center of the photo• You show WHERE the subject IS GOING
![Page 41: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Nose Room• About one-third is behind the subject, about
two-thirds is ahead• Implies movement in the picture• Must travel left to right or right to left
![Page 42: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• About two-thirds of empty frame is ahead of subject
• One-third is behind• Larger space is always in front of the subject
![Page 43: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Color• Placing contrasting objects adjacent to
highlight differences• Usually warm (red, orange, yellow, green) next
to cool (blue, purple, green)
![Page 45: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Color• NOT BLACK AND WHITE – THESE ARE NOT
COLORS• Usually striking – can be natural
![Page 46: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Texture
![Page 48: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Texture• Photographing close enough to see the
individual makeup – rise and fall• Best pictures are natural objects
![Page 49: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Texture• Photograph so you feel like you could touch
each ridge and fall• Usually a calming effect on viewer – to see
individuality of makeup
Not student photographs

Leading Lines
![Page 51: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Leading Lines • Photographing parallel lines to convergence• The convergence of lines ‘points’ viewer
toward a subject
![Page 52: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Leading Lines • The lines may be real, or suggested by parallel
objects• Creates a dynamic interesting photo that can
point to a desired subject

Framing• Surrounding your
subject – usually on three sides
• It points to a subject like a bullseye
![Page 56: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Framing• Surrounding your subject – usually on three sides• It points to a subject like a bullseye• Akin to an actual frame. Usually it is in the
foreground or background, but can be in the same plane
![Page 57: 00 composition techniques upated](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042722/58a23a2f1a28ab7b3c8b4a57/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
