Shallow Depth of Field Photograph

 

 

In this photo, I see a troubled young adult. The expression on her face suggest that she is contemplating something very important. The photograph is composed of a young lady in a natural environment. She is surrounded by trees and I believe the photo is figurative. The photograph was taken from an angle from the ground shooting upward and the subject is faced away from the sun. Also, the lines of the background senceray compared to the angle in which the subject and tree are angled make the photo more dynamic. The image is focused in a shalow depth of feild, focusing more on Christine (my model) and the tree and scenery are more blurred into the background. I belive the photgraph has a dark somber tone, despite the brightness of the image. The emphasis exhibited on the subject face and her body language sugeest that she is going through an internal struggle and that is what Iwas trying to convey. Overall, I believe the work was a success because of the content it includes and the dynamics of the lines the senery and the tree make.
