Photos 3: Deep Space


For this photo, I tried to set items up in a similar way we discussed in class.  The biggest, lightest object is in front: the laundry basket.  Next comes black shoes and a string backpack, and the farthest item is a black tissue box.  I attempted to create deep space by having the objects get smaller and darker down the hall.  I think I was successful in doing this, since this photo does not really look flat.  The doors on the sides also help deepen the space.  Something that does not help too much in this photo is the white wall on the right.


I was really happy with this photo.  The space is very deep; it has a one-point perspective with the lines in the ceiling of the parking garage moving closer together towards the end.  The pillars also deepen the space.  I thought the pillars were perfect for this exercise.  I also really like the light at the end of the garage.  I'm not a huge fan of the STAIRS sign; I should have moved beyond it.


When framing this photo, I really wanted to create deep space in a small area.  I feel that I was successful.  The one-point perspective of the table creates depth, and the light flowers in contrast to the small, black remote also show depth.  While the golden color is refreshing compared to the other two photos in this post, I think that it is a little too saturated.

  1. Photo 1: I do like the placement of objects to allow us to tell the depth, and this is a good place, but I just feel like there could have been more to configure for it, like a clothes hamper in front of the right wall facing us or covering the window that's casting the light on the back door.

    Photo 2: This is very nice! The grimy textures on the floor and ceiling tell us how close they are and the pillars to help extend the space like you say. The STAIRS sign can easily be cropped off if this photo were resized to 16x9. Even still, this is a very deep and expansive space, thanks to the surrounding objects.

    Photo 3: Lining up the lines in the table to guide our perspective does wonders for this shot, I just wish they went on longer. You also placed these objects very well, but it feels a little empty without one more in the mid-ground.
