Can You Picture This?

In the pictures below you will see 3 different types of pictures, these depict 3 different types of images. Here I will explain how these photos indicate, framing, simplicity, and angles.

This photo was taken of my younger sister, and this is an angle photo. This photo can also be called a, "Myspace Angle," photo. This photo was taken at an angle and therefore makes the focus of the image distorted. Looking at the photograph you see that the tire swing, and my sister looks extremely larger than the leg of the swing set that is in sight. The angle that the photo was taken in also makes her legs look disproportional to the rest of her body. This makes a difference in the photo immensely, it makes the focus of the photo look completely different than it is in reality. In reality we know that her legs are not smaller than the upper portion of her body, and we know the herself and the tire swing are not bigger than the swing set itself.

This photo demonstrates simplicity. In a photo that shows simplicity the photo's focal point is evident. In the photo you see here, you automatically see that the focus is the pink carnation. The photo of the flower itself is bold and immediately gets your attention, this is what the element of simplicity is supposed to do. In the photo the items in the background are noticed, but not overly bold or noticeable to the viewer immediately. For this particular photograph, my hand is in the background, even though this is the case, you do not look at that factor when you look at the picture. The pink carnation is bold and to the point.



This picture was taken at the local zoo, this indicates framing in a photograph. If you look closely and imagine the photo without the natural elements around the bird, were not there, then you will notice that the image becomes less interesting. This is because the small elements in the picture give it the interesting and unique factors that it needs to attract the attention of the viewer. In this particular photo the bird is the more defined framing, while the frame itself that the bird has, is less defined.
