Image bank- Depth


Below are a collection of images sourced from the internet which I feel portray the sense of depth. I feel that the photographs show distance, how close and how afar from something.

This image is of a brick wall, it demonstrates depth by the change in size but also the change in focus. The photo is focused mostly at the front and as the wall goes on, the detail becomes more blurred.

A field; this image conveys the idea of depth in the sense of how large the field actually is. The field shows rows that appear to get increasingly narrower throughout due to depth.

 
This photo is of a curb, you can see that the depth is represented in the narrowing of the curb which is largely and more predominantly shown by the yellow line.

A padlock on a chain. The padlock is the main focus in this photograph and it displays depth greatly as it creates the sense of distance by the difference in size of the lock and the chain.

The object in the frontal centre is the largest but as the distance increases, the size of similar objects decreases in width.

 
A set of stairs all of the same width and length yet the steps furthest away are smaller than those closer to the front of the image.

Self Assessment

Over the next few weeks I intend to use this time to make sure my work is complete to the best of my ability. I plan to extend on my progressions within my work diaries  (COMPLETED) by maybe including pictures which demonstrate how I would like to progress in the topic and different views and concepts which could be included. I need to do the Mapplethorpe Location (COMPLETED) shoot and then edit the best photos from the shoot. Also, I need to do the Mapplethorpe location work diary (COMPLETED) I feel that it would be wise for me to redo some edits, in particular the straight images from Walk 1 and 2,(COMPLETED) from Back of Heads Location and Studio Form (COMPLETED). I feel that I should extend on my evaluations and summaries of 2 photographers (COMPLETED). I need to extend on the evaluations of  the photos in the image banks back of heads and multiple imagery (COMPLETED).




8th January
In this lesson I am going to re edit the straight images from the straight images from the location shoots. Walk 1, walk 2 and back of head location are the ones I am going to re edit first to make them look more natural. I aim to finish all of these edits by the end of the lesson and if so I will start to expand on the images banks of multiple imagery and back of heads.


12th January
In this lesson, I was going to do some Mapplethorpe location shoots but due to the weather I had to change my plan and do contextual work so I will be re editing the straight images from back of heads location and studio form.


15th January
In todays session I will be going on a walk to allow me to shoot Mapplethorpe location as last lesson the weather was poor for shooting a walk. I will then be editing the photographs so that I can upload the straight images onto the blog.

19th January
In this session I am going to expand on my progressions throughout my work diaries and am going to complete the work diary for Mapplethorpe location.
