This photo is of my sister in my kitchen making a silly face. I was aiming to show a human in a very flat space, and I think I succeeded. The cabinets look as though they are right behind her, and there are very little 3-dimensional spaces or objects. However, the composition of this shot could have been framed better.
I really like this second photo. I took it in the car. This photo is flat due to the focus. The dashboard of the car is in focus while everything beyond the windshield is out of focus, thus creating a flat space. I do not feel like I was completely steady taking this picture, and that kind of made it a little fuzzy.
This is just a photo of my wall. How much flatter of a space can you get? While the wall has texture, there is absolutely no space or depth. I was fascinated by this: to take a photo that really has nowhere for anyone to go if someone were placed inside of it.
I think you framed your sister very well in the first photo - the horizontals of the cabinets lead the eye directly to her face, and she's also on the left third, which was a great composition choice!
ReplyDeleteYour second photo is a cool one - I can't tell exactly what it is, but I do like the sun flare you've got here. The spectral diffusion is causing a lot of different colors to be visible and I think it adds something to the photo. Your canted angle seems unmotivated, though - I would've loved to see your horizon line evened out!
Your third photo is an interesting choice. I totally see what you were going for, but I think this photo could've really benefited from a simple subject or object placed up against the wall. I love the texture here, but the flatness seems to lack motivation.
