Assignment 4: Perou

I find this video of famous photographer Perou very interesting as it misleads you when you first watch it. You think it some sort of advertisement, but actually it is about him treating anything he photographs as a delicate, very beautiful woman. if you listen to what he says and truly understand it, it will help you understand photography in a completely new, fresh way. He explains his own views of photography in extreme detail.

Assignment 3: Depth of Field

Depth of field is the area in a photo that isn't the point that the camera lens' single point but still appears sharp in the final image. Depth of field helps in images if you want your final image to look completely sharp not just one point of the photo. For example in this image obviously the most sharpest thing is the man and his swan, but the grass around him still seems sharp and vibrant making the whole image a whole lot better. Depth of field is very useful to use when photographing landscapes, to create an equally sharp and vibrant image.

Assignment 3: Lighting

Lighting can be used in various different ways to create different levels of dramatic features. It can also bring out certain features and make them stand out more. For example in this photo the first thing you look at in this photo is the window, then the hand and then the face and the rest of the man. This is all because they are the lightest thing in this black and white photo. The rule of thirds is also applied to where you are directed to look at in this photo. It causes you to look at the face, glasses and hands.

The photographer is John Hedgecoe and the camera used is a simple film camera that is printed in black and white. A lot of Hedgecoes work is done in film and is also in black in white. His collections are from the 1950's, 60's and 70's, when he was the most well known for his work. His work recently has become a lot more popular. John uses lighting in his photos to his advantage, making the final image a lot more sharper and interesting to view and look at. He has taken a lot of photos of people.
