Frame and Composition: Activity 1

Look through assorted photographic websites and observe how many photographers have moved in very close to their subjects. By employing this technique the photographer is said to ‘fill the frame’ and make their photographs more dramatic. Find two examples of how photographers seek simple backgrounds to remove unwanted detail and to help keep the emphasis or ‘focal point’ on the subject. Attach two images you find to your reply to this discussion.

In this photo, the photographer uses the close up technique by leaving out the unnecessary background around the model. The photographer also left out one half of the models face which is different than other photos I've seen before. This photo adds a lovely feel compared to regular photos we see of the model possibly with their whole body or even a background.

I really like this shot because you could get the view of the persons whole body but you just get the shot of her neck, up to a bit of her nose. You can see pieces of her hair flying in the shot which adds a bit of detail, while her smile shows true happiness and joy. Using the close-up technique, you are really able to see that.
