Person, Inorganic and Organic - (IN WIDE, MID, CLOSE, LOW LEVEL, EYE LEVEL, HIGH LEVEL) (Assignment 14)

 

Person -

(wide - high level)



(Mid - Low level)



 


















(Close - eye level)













Observation -

Top Wide Shot:
I captured the subject from a higher angle with a wide frame. This gave an overview of the person and their surroundings, creating a sense of distance and making the subject appear smaller within the environment. It helped me realize how camera height can change the viewer’s perception of power and space.

Low Mid Shot:
For the mid shot, I took the picture from a lower angle, framing the subject from about the waist up. This gave the subject a sense of importance and authority, as the upward angle made them appear taller and more dominant. At the same time, the mid framing balanced focus between the subject and the background.

Eye Close-Up Shot:
The final image focused tightly on the subject’s face, specifically eyes. This close framing emphasized details, emotions, and expressions, creating a strong sense of intimacy and connection with the viewer. It made me understand how powerful close-ups are in conveying emotion.


Inorganic - 

(wide - eye level)








(Close - low level)













(high - mid level)













Observations - 

Eye- level Wide Shot:

I photographed the clock from a eye level angle with a wide frame, which allowed me to show both the object and the surrounding environment, in this case, a clock hanging on the notice board. This gave context to where the clock was placed and highlighted its presence as part of a larger setting.

Low- level Close Shot:
For the low mid shot, I captured the clock from a slightly lower angle, framing it closely. This perspective gave the object a sense of prominence and helped focus on the intricate details of the object. This framing brought attention to the craftsmanship and design, emphasizing textures, patterns, and fine details that may go unnoticed in wider shots.

High- level Mid Shot:
The mid shot focused on the clock’s details, particularly its dial and ornamental features. This perspective gave the object a sense of prominence and made it appear larger and more significant, even though it is an inanimate subject.


Organic - 

(High- level Wide shot)

(Eye- level Close shot)















(Low- level Mid shot)















Observation - 

High-Level Wide Shot:
From above, I captured the planter with its surrounding environment, the fallen leaves and soil. This perspective gave a sense of placement and context, allowing the viewer to see the overall form of the planter as well as how it interacts with the space around it.

Eye-Level Close Shot:
For the close-up, I focused at eye level on the details of the plants — their leaves, textures, and patterns. This perspective emphasized the finer natural qualities of the subject and created a sense of intimacy, inviting the viewer to engage closely with the organic details.

Low-Level Mid Shot:
By shooting the planter from a lower angle and mid distance, I highlighted the plants’ upward growth. This angle focused on the mid part of the planter and the ground together in a closer perspective making the organic subject appear larger, more dynamic, and alive in the frame.

With slower shutter speeds, moving subjects created more dramatic and stretched blurs, while the darker environment made the trails stand out much more strongly. When photographing traffic, the headlights and taillights turned into long, continuous light trails that gave the images a sense of flow and direction. Light painting was especially interesting—I noticed how even simple movements with a torch or phone light could draw shapes in the air, leaving bright streaks captured by the camera. The combination of still backgrounds and glowing trails made the photos feel vibrant and alive, even though the setting i...

Aperture - Shallow Depth of Field (Assignments 7)

  f/4 f/4 f/4 f/4 f/5 Observations - In this assignment, I experimented with aperture by taking two photos of the same frame: one where the brush in hand was in focus and another where the face was in focus. I observed that a wider aperture (low f-stop) created a shallow depth of field, isolating the hand sharply while blurring the face in the background. On the other hand, adjusting the aperture to focus on the face shifted attention to the subject’s expression while softening the foreground (the hand).

Research on Edward Weston (Assignment 20)

  EDWARD WESTON About him- Edward Weston (1886–1958) was a pioneering American photographer renowned for transforming photography into a respected modern art form. Born in Highland Park, Illinois, Weston began his career with soft-focus pictorialist images but soon shifted to a sharper, more realistic style known as straight photography He is best known for his black-and-white images of natural forms , landscapes , nudes , and close-ups of everyday objects like shells, vegetables (especially peppers), and rocks . Weston co-founded Group f/64 in 1932 with other notable photographers like Ansel Adams and Imogen Cunningham , promoting pure photography and clarity in contrast to manipulated or painterly styles. Pepper No. 30 (1930) This is arguably Weston's most iconic photograph. He used a simple bell pepper and transformed it into a powerful, almost sculptural form through lighting, contrast, and tight framing. The curves and folds of the pepper resemble the human body, showing hi...
