This research shows short and long depth of field.

35mm portraiture research


As part of my large format research i choose to present it in a variety of forms using 5x4, hasselblad and 35mm . Doing this was just to gain prospective of what a portrait may consist off and to get a understanding of depth of field.Above is a prior example of all three mid,long and short depth of field.I think all three have a great harmony in which both figure and ground work well together where neither background or foreground are overpowering one another.




Richard Avedon - America West





Inspirational portraits from Avedon showing everyday life of an working american.I admire the use of a white backdrop almost as if nothing else is supposed to draw your eye other than the subject in the foreground.The images feels disheartening and full of grimness and looks full of sheer dirt and grittiness .Yet its pleasing to view your looking at real people which i think is Avedon concept in this exhibition.
