Photography Final: Forced Perspective

    The forced perspective project required:

• images that demonstrate forced perspective and/ or superimposing.
• adjust your aperture/f-stop/depth of field so that both the foreground and background are completely in focus.
• Be Creative! Woo
• Images are properly exposed, not too dark or bright.

      In this assignment, I had my friends (Kristin Farren and Kylie Criswell) pose in various poses. I had them take the pictures in good lighting and the school served as the backdrop for the pictures. Some poses that they did are: Kylie picking Kristin by the head, Kylie holding Kristin on her palm, Kristin flicking Kylie, and Kristin stepping on Kylie.
     In this assignment, I learned the importance of lighting and posing. The stance that the subjects are holding are key in capturing a powerful picture. For an example, if the subject is slouching than the subject looks awkward and lazy. While if the subject is standing with their hands in the pocket, slouching on a wall the subject looks relaxed and carefree. The pose expresses the subjects emotions and personality.

     I enjoyed taking the pictures because I had the ability to manipulate the poses that the subjects had to pose. The pictures came out fun and my friends and I had a lot of fun taking the pictures.
    My biggest challenge about this project was figuring out the poses that the subjects had to do. This project required a lot of creativity.

Take my good side!

      I believe in the theory that there is a "good side"of the face. This theory is correct because the human face is not perfectly proportional. The bone structure may be different, or the location of the eyes may be placed elsewhere. Looking at the pictures, you can tell the differences between the volunteers expression. Even myself, I have noticed that my right side of my face is the "better side" compared to the left.
