                                  Photography Basics

                                                        Shallow Depth of Field

               This shows a shallow depth of field because of high focus on the focal point and a blur                        effect on the part that the photographer doesn't want to focus in on.

Long Depth of Field

This photo shows a long depth of field because of it's long range of focus showing everything the photographer can see at that moment.

Low Shutter Speed

This photo was taken with low shutter speed, you can see this because it shows this man's entire movement instead of capturing that exact moment in time when clicking the camera.

High Shutter Speed

This is high shutter speed, you can see this because the exact moment in time was captured when the photographer took the photo. 

High ISO 

This is a high ISO photo because we are able to see all this detail in the dark (this is the camera letting in all the light as it can to let us see the picture) and because of the graininess, it creates when putting the ISO this high.

Low ISO

This photo has a low ISO due to it being relatively dark and its low amount of grain. The reason why the photo is so dark in what seems to be a bright scenario is because the camera is letting in less light making the photo look better. 

Q#1.)When Richard Avedon talks about contradiction and complexity in the face I think he is talking about the emotions in people's faces and how each face has a certain complexity to it depending on their emotion, upbringing and background.


Q#2.)When Avedon decided to go with simple, clean cut photography with a white background it achieved focus. The white background makes you focus on the subject he is trying make the viewer look at.


Q#3.) With painting even if you have a realistic painting the exact moment will never be captured because of the time it takes to produce a painting. Photographs capture that moment in time almost exactly, taking seconds to produce. I think we migrate to photography more because of how fast-moving we are, making us want results instantly.
